Hold on to your grass courts—Bianca Andreescu and Maria Sakkari are coming to ‘s-Hertogenbosch, and they’re not just bringing their suitcases. The Canadian comeback queen and the Greek gladiator have both accepted wildcards into the 2024 Libema Open, setting the stage for a sizzling start to the grass-court season.
For Andreescu, this is more than just another tournament—it’s a return to the site of her 2024 breakthrough. After battling injuries and inconsistency, the former US Open champ reminded everyone why she’s tennis royalty with her finalist run in ‘s-Hertogenbosch last year. The blend of power, finesse, and that trademark fighting spirit lit up the Dutch grass—and she’s clearly hungry for more. With the wildcard secured, Andreescu is on a mission: go one better and take the title.
Meanwhile, Sakkari enters the scene with a point to prove. The Greek star has had her share of ups and downs, but she’s still one of the most physically imposing and dangerous players on tour. While grass isn’t traditionally her domain, Sakkari’s all-court game and relentless drive make her a serious threat anywhere, anytime. Accepting this wildcard is a bold move—a sign that she’s ready to get uncomfortable and embrace the unexpected.
The Libema Open just got a serious injection of star power. With Andreescu aiming to defend her finalist points and Sakkari looking to ignite a new chapter, fans are in for a thrilling ride. Wildcards? More like wildcards with a vengeance. Keep your eyes on the lawns of ‘s-Hertogenbosch—things are about to get very interesting.
