Doubles title holders return; Griekspoor also in action in doubles

Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow return to defend their captured doubles title. Last year, the pair were too strong in the final for the retiring Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektic.

This year the latter is playing alongside Michael Venus, who won the doubles title in 2016. The Croat and the American are seeded first.

Tallon Griekspoor will be in action in both singles and doubles. He forms a duo with doubles specialist Bart Stevens.

More Dutch input comes in the person of Sander Arends. The man from Groningen will play with his regular partner from the United Kingdom, Luke Johnson.
