The 2024 Stuttgart Open is one of two ATP grass-court tournaments held in Germany, and prize money details have been revealed.
Some of the world's top-ranked players will transition from clay to grass from June 10th to 16th to play at this ATP 250 tournament, featuring a 28-player singles field.

The defending champion is Frances Tiafoe, who has signed up for the tournament while ranked outside the Top 20. Czech Jiri Lehecka is expected to play his first tournament after a back injury he picked up during the clay swing.
Jack Draper and Jan Lennard Struff are two hard-hitting players aiming to compete on grass. The strong German presence also includes World No. 52 Dominik Koepfer.
