Boodles Challenge
The Boodles Tennis Challenge is an international five day tennis exhibition held at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire, England. In coordination with Boodles it was initially founded by veteran sports agent Patricio Apey as an event to help players hone their grass court skills in the lead-up to Wimbledon. It is played in a similar style to the AAMI Classic giving the players at least three matches each and allowing non competition players to appear in one match per a day. Over recent years Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Tim Henman, Marat Safin, James Blake, Andy Roddick, Fernando González, David Nalbandian, Novak Djokovic, Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Andy Murray have all appeared. Since its inception, The Boodles has turned into a lifestyle event featuring British luxury brands such as Boodles, Veuve Clicquot and H.R. Owen.
Often described as an elegant English summer party around world class tennis, attendances are strictly limited to 1500 people per day to ensure every guest has a view of both the tennis and the jewellery on display.
