Players to Watch

Alexander Zverev

Fresh off the biggest breakthrough of his career, Alexander Zverev arrives in Halle as the top seed and home favourite. With strong support from the German crowd and a game well suited to grass, he will be one of the main title contenders.

Alexander Bublik

The defending champion remains one of the most dangerous players on grass thanks to his huge serve and unpredictable shot-making. Bublik has already won two Halle titles and knows exactly what it takes to succeed at this venue.

Taylor Fritz

One of the most accomplished grass-court players on tour, Fritz enters Halle with confidence after another strong week on the surface. His powerful serve and aggressive baseline game make him a serious threat in any grass-court event.

Daniil Medvedev

A two-time Halle finalist, Medvedev has consistently performed well at this tournament despite still searching for his first title here. His ability to absorb pace and defend effectively makes him a difficult opponent on faster courts.

Felix Auger-Aliassime

The Canadian has shown plenty of promise on grass throughout his career and reached the semifinals in Halle previously. After a modest start to the grass swing, he will be looking to rediscover his best level ahead of Wimbledon.
