Alexander Zverev is following the footsteps of his idol Roger Federer by signing a 3-year contract to appear at the tennis event in Halle.
Halle has been a longtime favorite event of Federer who played at the event whenever he could. He took part last year as well ultimately losing out to Felix Auger-Aliassime and the event now has another superstar that enjoys it. Zverev has spoken fondly of the event many times before and recently said:
"I particularly look forward to returning to Halle every year. The tournament is well organized. The short walking distances and the local condition are ideal."

Zverev is not the only player who is already confirmed for the 2022 edition of the event with Daniil Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, Karen Khachanov, and Felix Auger-Aliassime all committing to play as well. The news was confirmed by tournament director Ralf Weber who said in a statement:
“Zverev, Medevev, Sinner and Auger Aliassime, you can say that the future of tennis has arrived in Halle. Sinner speaks German and is perfect for our tournament. Sasha Zverev made German tennis history in Tokyo and showed how much it means to him representing his home country. It makes me proud that he has the long-term relationship with our tournament."

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
