Bad Homburg Open - Bad Homburg

A WTA 500 on grass in Bad Homburg, in the fortnight with Berlin and Eastbourne before Wimbledon. The court measures quick, though the serving numbers do not follow: holds sit at 70%, aces are scarce and tiebreaks are rare because the break arrives first. Aggressive returning travels better here than a big serve. Most matches end in straights, and Kerber, Siniakova, Pegula and Muchova have all won it.
