Three minutes a day, knowing about tennis in the world. Hello fans, today is Tuesday, June 17, 2025, and welcome to the afternoon newsletter brought to you by "Home of Tennis".

Let's start with a piece of news about Novak Djokovic. According to the latest reports from Greek media, Serbian football king Novak Djokovic and his family will move to Athens, the capital of Greece, in September this year. Currently, the family is looking for a new home on the northern outskirts of Athens. Previously, Djokovic had lived in Monte Carlo, Monaco, for a long time, and also had a mansion in his hometown of Belgrade. In addition, he has purchased properties and villas in Miami, New York and Marbella in Spain. This time, he decided to move his family to Athens, for some reason. At the moment, Djokovic himself has not confirmed this news.

Let's get back to the field. Last night, Beijing time, this week's two ATP 500 grass court tournaments kicked off. London: Fourth seed and Danish rising star Rune defeated lucky loser O'Connell 6-3 6-4 in straight sets to claim his first grass-court win of the season. In the second round, he will face American McDonald, who eliminated French veteran Monfils in two sets.

Seventh seed Tiafoe of the United States was beaten 7-5 6-2 by wildcard veteran Evans. Eighth seed and Czech rising star Mensik won the first set with Briton Norrie 7-6(6) 1-6 6-1. Spaniard Agut and homegrown player Fernli also got off to a good start.

Halle: Third seed and Russia's Dmitry Medvedev eased home wildcard Altmaier 6-3 6-3 to face France's Aris in the second round, who beat compatriot Bonds 2-0; Greece's Tsitsipas battled hard to win 6-4 3-6 7-6(5) against Italy's Dardry in three sets; Bubrik and Marousanne also defeated their respective opponents to advance to the second round.

Women's Field: In a highlight-match match in the first round of singles at WTA 250 Nottingham, China's Jinhua Zhu Lin, who had fallen to No. 309 in the world, overcame a 3-0 deficit to defeat qualifier Sasnovic 6-4 6-1 to claim her first main draw win since Wimbledon last year. Next, she will await the winner between Brazilian sister Maya and American Kessler. Players such as Tauson, Fernandes, Noskova, Putintseva, Yastremska and Rudzic also won and advanced.

WTA 500 Berlin: Poland's Fletcher came back to defeat sixth seed and rising Russian star Milla Andreeva 2-6 7-5 6-0 in a highlight-back singles first-round match.

Spain's Badosa, the eighth seed, got the grass court season off to a flying start with a 6-1 6-3 sweep of homegrown wildcard Leis. Masalova, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Navarro and Siniakova also made it past the first round.

Doubles: In the first round, China's Jiang Xinyu/Wu Fangxian were in poor form and lost 2-6 5-7 to Mihalikova/Nichols.
