The Halle Open is a men's tennis tournament held in Halle, North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany. Held since 1993, the event is played on four outdoor grass courts and is a part of the ATP Tour 500 series on the ATP Tour schedule.
Between 1993 and 2018 it was sponsored by Gerry Weber . It was sponsored by Noventi from 2019 to 2021.[ 1] In December 2021, a change of primary sponsor and name was announced. In 2022, the name of the ATP tournament was changed from the Noventi Open to the Terra Wortmann Open, as the company Wortmann AG secured the naming rights.[ 2]
The Halle Open is held at the same time as the Queens Club Championships , and the two are seen as the primary warm-up tournaments for the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament, also on grass courts, which begins towards the end of June. The event was upgraded in 2015 from a 250 series to a 500 series tournament.
The Centre Court (the OWL Arena ) has 12,300 seats and a retractable roof which can be closed in 88 seconds so that tennis matches can continue with a closed roof when it begins to rain. The stadium is heated and also used for other sport events (handball , basketball , volleyball and boxing ) and concerts.
Past finals
In singles, Roger Federer (2003–06, 2008, 2013–15, 2017, 2019) holds the record for most overall titles (ten, out of thirteen finals), and most consecutive titles (four, in 2003–06). In doubles, Raven Klaasen (2015–16, 2019) and Marcelo Melo (2017–18, 2023) co-hold the record for most titles with three each, and co-hold the one for consecutive titles with Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi (2011–12), Rajeev Ram (2015–16), Łukasz Kubot (2017–18) and Melo (2017–18), at two.
