Jannik Sinner made his debut at the 32nd Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic in 2026, and Novak Djokovic beat Tommy Paul in three sets.
The 32nd Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic ran at The Hurlingham Club in Fulham from Tuesday 23 to Saturday 27 June 2026. Jannik Sinner, the world number one, made his debut.
The exhibition is played on grass in the days before Wimbledon, and the club calls its ground Little Wimbledon. The club opened in 1869, and its Georgian clubhouse is regarded as the birthplace of polo.
Giorgio Armani was title partner for the fifth year. BNP Paribas joined as its first Platinum partner, pledging £2 for every point and £50 for every ace to The Hurlingham Club Foundation.
Novak Djokovic, a regular at the Classic since 2022, beat Tommy Paul, a finalist at the HSBC Championships, 6-3, 6-7, 7-5 on the Friday. On the final Saturday Tomás Etcheverry, ranked 32nd, beat the French Open finalist Flavio Cobolli 12-10 in a deciding tie-break. Stefanos Tsitsipas beat Luciano Darderi 6-7, 6-3, 10-8.
Sinner played earlier in the week and called it one of the best preparations he had had in a long time before a Grand Slam.
The legends’ programme brought Mansour Bahrami, Monica Puig, Flavia Pennetta, Sébastien Grosjean, Marcos Baghdatis and Nicolás Almagro to the court.
