Halle Tennis Open 2016: Results

The Halle Open, also known as the Gerry Webber Open, is an ATP500 event currently underway in Halle, Germany. World No. 3 Roger Federer is the top seed at the grass court tournament. It is known to be the Swiss Maestro’s favoured surface – he has won seven of his seventeen Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon.

Despite this, however, the Swiss was involved in a shock loss to Dominic Thiem at the semi-finals of the Mercedes Cup, where Thiem would go on to defeat Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany in the finals to win his first ever grass court title.
