The Boodles, the pre-Wimbledon exhibition founded in 2002, brought Andrey Rublev and Alex de Minaur to the grass at Stoke Park for five days in 2025.
The Boodles, the pre-Wimbledon exhibition founded in 2002, held five days of tennis at Stoke Park in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, from Tuesday 24 to Saturday 28 June 2025. Andrey Rublev led the field.
The sports agent Patricio Apey founded the event with the jeweller Boodles, to give his clients match play on grass before the Championships. Every player is guaranteed at least three matches across the week.
Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray have all played there. The event was lost to the pandemic in 2020 and 2021 and to renovation in 2022, and returned in 2023.
Stoke Park is one of the oldest country clubs in Britain, and the week ran as a garden party around its stadium court. The 2025 edition named Cure Parkinson’s and the Andrey Rublev Foundation as its beneficiaries.
Alex de Minaur, Hubert Hurkacz, Alexei Popyrin, David Goffin and Christopher Eubanks completed the field. On the opening afternoon Rublev beat Eubanks in two tie-break sets.
Hannah Klugman played Zeynep Sönmez in the week’s women’s match. The British teenager had just reached the junior girls’ final at Roland Garros and taken a wild card into the Wimbledon main draw.
