Tournament Context
Now in its fifth edition, the Mallorca Championships has quickly become a unique stop on the grass-court swing. Unlike the slick, fast lawns of Queen’s or Halle, Mallorca’s grass plays slower, with a higher bounce and humid Mediterranean air. This favors clay-court grinders and baseline tacticians, making it a fascinating hybrid between surfaces.
