The 3 men to win multiple Halle Open titles: Can Jannik Sinner make it four?
Jannik Sinner is back at the Halle Open in 2025, and will be looking to win the title for the second time.
The world No 1 defeated Hubert Hurkacz in the final to triumph twelve months ago and will be the favourite to defend his title at the ATP 500 event.
Should the Italian triumph once again in 2025, he would join an exclusive club of men to claim multiple titles at the event, led by the iconic Roger Federer.
Tommy Haas – Two titles
Former world No 2 Haas is one of six German men to triumph on home soil, but is the only one to have lifted the title on multiple occasions.
Haas lifted the title for the first time as a wildcard in 2009, beating compatriot Philipp Kohlschreiber before a shock 6–3, 6–7(4), 6–1 triumph over second seed Novak Djokovic in the final.
Three years later, the German claimed the title for the second time – again as a wildcard.
Haas beat third seed Tomas Berdych in the quarter-final and, much like in 2009, downed Kohlschreiber in the last four, before stunning close friend Federer 7-6(5), 6-4 to reign once again.
Yevgeny Kafelnikov – Three titles
Kafelnikov’s greatest career successes came on hard and clay courts, though the Russian still managed to win three Halle titles across his career.
After defeat in the 1996 final, the former world No 1 triumphed for the first time in 1997, battling past Petr Korda 7–6(2), 6–7(5), 7–6(7) in a thrilling final.
Kafelnikov then returned to the tournament in 1998 and successfully defended his title, defeating Thomas Johansson in the last four before a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Magnus Larsson.
The two-time Grand Slam winner then sealed his third and final Halle triumph in 2002, beating Kenneth Carlsen in the semi-final before a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Nicolas Kiefer in the final.

Roger Federer – 10 titles
Perhaps the greatest grass-courter in ATP history, Federer won a staggering 10 titles at Halle across his legendary career.
The Swiss triumphed for the first time in 2003, downing Kiefer in the final to kickstart a run of four consecutive titles at the event.
Federer breezed past Mardy Fish to claim the title in 2004, before victories over Marat Safin in the 2005 final and Tomas Berdych in 2006.
He beat Kohlschreiber to regain his title in 2008, before ending a five-year wait for a sixth title in 2013, beating Mikhail Youzhny in the final.
The Swiss successfully defended his title by beating Alejandro Falla in the 2014 final and then downed Andreas Seppi for a record-extending eighth title in 2015.
Federer would beat Alexander Zverev to capture his ninth title in 2017, before a 10th and final title in 2019, defeating David Goffin in the final.
He was also a runner-up to Lleyton Hewitt in 2010, Haas in 2012, and Borna Coric in 2018.
