Alexandra Eala, Dan Evans and Chris Eubanks trade red clay for green grass
Early exits in Paris are heading to the first grass-court tournament of the season next week.
They're going green!
As the clay-court spring heads into its final days during the second week at Roland Garros, tennis has already made its way to the green grass of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
A staple on the women's calendar for more than four decades, the city is preparing for its first WTA 125 tournament, as well as first-ever professional men’s tennis event as well. The ATP Challenger 125 will see 14 of the Top 100 players, including newly-minted world No. 100 Nishesh Basavareddy.

Parks, at word No. 51, and Italy's Mattia Bellucci, at No. 68, are the highest-ranked players and lead their respective draws.
