Key Contenders

Alexander Bublik (Defending Champion)

Bublik won the 2025 title with his unorthodox, serve-and-volley style that is tailor-made for grass. The Kazakh’s underarm serves, drop volleys and unpredictable shot selection make him a uniquely entertaining and dangerous grass-court competitor. He also won the 2023 edition, making him a two-time champion.

Alexander Zverev

As a German, Zverev has a natural affinity for Halle and the home-crowd support that comes with it. His powerful serve is a weapon on grass, and he arrives fresh off his maiden Grand Slam triumph at Roland Garros, making him one of the headline names in the field.

Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev’s flat, penetrating ball-striking and elite return game travel well to grass, and his big-match experience makes him a threat in any 500-level draw. The fast Halle courts reward his clean hitting and ability to dictate from the baseline.

Other contenders

The American duo of Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton bring two of the biggest serves on tour to the grass, where service games carry extra weight. Felix Auger-Aliassime is another serve-led contender well suited to the surface, while Andrey Rublev rounds out a strong field. The tournament often features surprise runs from serve-dominant players whose games translate well to the fast conditions.
