Tennis tournament
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. For the years 2022 and 2023, the tournament will be known as the Terra Wortmann Open.
[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
Gerry Weber Stadion ) 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.
