The Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, currently fifth in the world rankings, gave his commitment for the preparatory tournament at Wimbledon. This was announced by the organizers. Other top 10 players in Halle are Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev (Hamburg) and US Open champion Daniil Medvedev (Russia).
Tsitsipas (23) is coming to Halle for the second time after 2018. Four years ago he was eliminated in the second round. Turf is not one of the French Open finalist's preferred surfaces. At Wimbledon he lost in the first round of the last two events.
The ATP tournament is once again brilliant: the youngsters Jannik Sinner, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Sebastian Korda are also there.
Record winner Roger Federer, on the other hand, will probably be missing: the Swiss is on the way to a comeback after his knee surgery again in August last year and considers participation in Wimbledon to be a small miracle. Will it be enough for Halle beforehand?
