Leading the field of the MLP-Cup 2023 is Jan Choinski, number 249 in the world rankings. The German-born player, who now plays under the British flag, has already won eight singles titles on the Future Tour.

With Peter Heller and the former German champion Daniel Masur, players already familiar to spectators will return to Nußloch and once again fight for the title of International Men's Tennis Champion of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region. In addition to high-profile players, this year's field also includes up-and-coming talents such as Munich's Max Rehberg and US-American Aidan Mayo. Spectators should also keep an eye on Edas Butvilas. The 18-year-old Lithuanian won the Junior Grand Slam at Wimbledon in doubles in 2021 and the Junior French Open in 2022 and reached the quarterfinals of the Junior Australian Open in singles last year.

Local hero Torben Steinorth from TC Weinheim narrowly fails in the final of the MLP-Cup Wildcard Challenge against 17-year-old Yannik Kelm from Bavaria.

After an unflinching march through to the final, Steinorth presented him with a real challenge for the first time. In the match, which lasted more than 2 hours and was exciting until the end, two set tie-breaks had to decide the match. Kelm finally secured the victory of the tournament after a sovereign second tie-break with 7:6 7:6 and thus a wildcard for the MLP Cup.
