Plotting a Summer by the Tennis Calendar
The ATP’s 2027 calendar sets out a route from grass courts in June to small clay-court towns in July.
The ATP has published its 2027 calendar, and it works as a travel plan. Read it from Paris to the Alps and it covers a whole summer, with the best weeks often away from the biggest events.
June, on grass
Roland-Garros begins on 23 May. After a gap week, the grass season opens in the week of 7 June in Stuttgart and 's-Hertogenbosch. Halle and Queen's follow in the week of 14 June, then Eastbourne and Mallorca the week after. Wimbledon starts on 28 June.
Mallorca is the one to note. A grass event in the Balearics, in the last week before Wimbledon, combines a serious draw with an island in early summer, before the island's busiest weeks.
July, on clay by the sea and in the mountains
When Wimbledon ends, the tour moves to small towns for its July clay-court weeks: Båstad, Gstaad, Kitzbühel, Umag and Estoril.
Båstad, on Sweden's southwest coast, played its 2026 edition from 13 to 19 July at the Båstad Tennisstadion. Mats Wilander won it at 17, in 1982, and the town still has the feel of a seaside summer week. Gstaad's tournament dates to 1915, which makes it Switzerland's oldest. Roger Federer won it in 2004, and it is now played in the village center.
For 2027
- Pair Båstad with the Bohuslän coast to the north for a cool-weather July.
- Gstaad in July is pleasant at altitude when the south is hot. Book a chalet rather than a hotel room for the week.
- For Mallorca, stay near the courts and book in winter.
- Day tickets at the smaller events cost a fraction of Grand Slam seats, and you are much closer to the court.
