ATP
Nick Kyrgios, Daniil Medvedev, and Alexander Zverev were among the first confirmed players for the 2023 Halle Open.
The Halle Open is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the ATP calendar. It's one of only two ATP 500 grass-court events, but it's popular also because of Roger Federer, who triumphed 10 times in the German city.
Since the Swiss Maestro's last triumph in 2019, there have been two new champions. In 2021, Ugo Humbert defeated Andrey Rublev in the final, and last year, Hubert Hurkacz defeated Daniil Medvedev.
Despite the 30th edition of the event being nine months away, some players already signed up for the 2023 Halle Open. Last year's finalist and former ATP World No. 1 player, Daniil Medvedev, leads the list of players that will compete next year.
Medvedev competed in Halle twice before. In 2021, he was stunned by Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round. This year, he reached the final.
The 2022 Wimbledon finalist and this year's semi-finalist in Halle, Nick Kyrgios, should also compete at the 2023 Halle Open. The initial list of announced players features at least three more interesting names.
Former ATP World No. 2, Alexander Zverev, also signed up for the tournament in Halle. Fans in the German city will certainly be delighted to see the home player return.
Zverev competed at the Halle Open multiple times in the past. He reached the final in 2016 and 2017, but he has yet to win a title on the grass courts in Halle. He also reached the quarter-finals in 2019.
This year's quarter-finalist, Felix Auger-Aliassime, should also play at the 2023 Halle Open, and Jannik Sinner is the last of five players who have already confirmed their participation for the next year's edition of this grass-court ATP 500 event.
