Do you follow any other grass tournaments in the lead up to Wimbledon? (self.tennis)

I'm just watching some coverage of Stuttgart and it made me wonder what tournaments everyone else likes to watch. In the past I have only watched Wimbledon but as I've gotten older I enjoy watching a variety of tournaments and slams.

Looking forward to Tsitsipas - Gasquet later!

I have to laugh at myself. When I was a kid I would get annoyed at my mum wanting to watch Wimbledon because it meant missing The Simpsons for two weeks (lol). Now I watch more tennis than she does!

I've recently started being into tennis but I only watch Grand Slams. From what I know, the leadup lower tier tournaments are like a warmup for the top players. What would be some interesting tournaments to look out before Wimbledon?

In terms of smaller tournaments I wouldn't really know what to recommend. I'm only just getting more into it myself. This is the first year I've sought out coverage of something that isn't a slam, I just have matches from Stuttgart playing while I'm on the laptop. I imagine we have quite an interesting time coming up with the current GOAT players getting older / succumbing to injury / retiring. Someone's gonna take Djokovic down eventually, lol.
