Andrey Rublev agrees to the tournament in Halle
Last year's finalist Andrey Rublev , number seven in the world rankings, will also play at the lawn tournament in Halle in East Westphalia this year. This means that there are a total of five top ten players in the current list of participants. Munich winner Holger Rune (Denmark) has also registered for the tournament.

Rublev recently drew attention to himself with a final victory over world number one Novak Djokovic at his home tournament in Belgrade. "Last year in Halle I reached my first final on grass and I would like to win my first tournament on grass here," said the 24-year-old.
The field is led by Olympic champion Alexander Zverev. Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece), number five in the world, and Italy's great hope Jannik Sinner also play in East Westphalia. Daniil Medvedev, currently number two in the world, is planning his comeback after a long injury break.
It is unlikely that record winner Roger Federer will appear: after his long injury break, the Swiss is aiming for a comeback in the summer, if possible in Wimbledon - even if this would be a surprise, according to his own statement.
