The Grass season has started!

The clay season has ended after nearly 2 months, and it's time for the grass court season to begin.

After the French Open ended with Svetlana Kuznetsova being the winner, the first grass court tournament will start on June the 7th, which will be the $220,000 AEGON Classic in Birmingham, Great Britain. Maria Sharapova, who is a two-time champion in
 Birmingham, is looking to have a strong result in the grass-court season.

Players only have two weeks to prepare for the grass court season ending Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the year, with Venus Williams being the defending champion, going for her sixth Wimbledon crown, her third in a row, and her eighth Grand Slam title.

Wimbledon will also show off it's new roof on Centre Court.

There will also be a few red clay tournaments after Wimbledon.

Good luck to all players and defending champions in the grass court season!
