The 2025
Halle Open is one of the most significant grass-court tournaments outside of Wimbledon. As usual, many top players have committed to the event.
Each year, the Halle Open runs simultaneously with the Queen's Club Championships, another superb tournament. That means fierce competition exists to acquire the best players on the
ATP Tour.
Both tournaments are scheduled from June 16th to 22nd. Although the 2025 Queen's Club Championships has more Top 10 players on the
entry list, including Carlos Alcaraz, the Halle organizers have also secured the involvement of some great players.
World No. 1
Jannik Sinner will appear in Germany once again. He is the defending champion after beating
Hubert Hurkacz 7-6, 7-6 in last year's final in a match that did not contain any breaks of serve.
Sinner's title in Halle was among many memorable moments during his incredible breakthrough 2024 season that included two Grand Slam titles. Every other title he won last year came on a hard court.
The 23-year-old's most recent tournament, when the Halle Open begins, will have been the 2025 French Open. Sinner enters the second Grand Slam of the season with momentum after reaching the 2025 Italian Open final.
Sinner's expectations were low for his home tournament, which was
his first since winning the 2025 Australian Open in January. The World Anti-Doping Agency suspended him from February 9th until May 4th.
Alexander Zverev should get great support from the German fans in Halle. He was the runner-up at the event in 2016 and 2017, but has not reached any other finals at the venue since losing the 2017 final to Roger Federer.
In fact, none of Zverev's 24 titles have come on grass. The three-time Grand Slam runner-up seems to struggle with the lower bounce compared to other surfaces, and his movement is not as natural as it is on hard and clay.
Zverev's expectations for the French Open are much higher. The 28-year-old views the Grand Slam at Roland Garros as his best opportunity to secure a maiden major title.
If
Daniil Medvedev does not win the French Open or the 2025 Libema Open (which he has also signed up for), he will try to end a title drought of more than two years at the ATP 500 event in Halle.
Aside from winning the 2025 Qatar Open in February,
Andrey Rublev has had a challenging season. The ten-time quarterfinalist will hope to improve his fortunes with a deep run at the Halle Open.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is also on the entry list. Although grass has been the Greek's least successful surface since the start of his career, he can play great tennis on any surface when his game clicks.
Arthur Fils will almost certainly entertain the fans in Halle. He and Tsitsipas created headlines after a
heated interaction between the pair at the net, moments after Fils won their Italian Open meeting in three sets.
Last year's runner-up Hurkacz, 2021 Wimbledon semifinalist Shapovalov,
Karen Khachanov, and
Felix Auger-Aliassime are some of the other players on the Halle Open entry list.
