Stefanos and Petros Tsitsipas secured the wild card and will play in next week's Mallorca tournament. In the 1st round they will face the No. 1 of the board Marcelo Arevalo and Jean Goulien Roger. 

Stefanos and Petros Tsitsipas have secured the wild card and will compete in next week's Mallorca tournament, in preparation for Wmbledon, as the two brothers are on the list of runners-up in the 3rd Major of the season and it is very likely that they will play in double London like last year.

However, their start in the 250-a-side tournament in Mallorca is expected to be quite demanding and difficult, as in the first round they will face No. 1 on the board Marcelo Arevalo (El Savador) and Jean-Julien Roger (Netherlands).

Recall that this duo won the Roland Garros last month, while this year has won two more ATP titles. Arevalo and Roger will meet once again with Stefanos Tsitsipas, after last February, where they were defeated in the final of Acapulco by the Greek tennis player and Felithianos Lopez.

In case of qualification, the Tsitsipa brothers will face in the 2nd round either the Austrians Alexander Erler and Lucas Middler, or Sebastian Baez (Argentina) and Joao Souza (Portugal).

We remind you that on Saturday the draw for the singles took place with Stefanos Tsitsipas passing bye from the 1st round, while then he will face one of Ilias Ivaska (No42) and Emil Roussouvori (No56).
