Terra Wortmann Open - Halle

An ATP 500 on grass in Halle, mid grass swing with London and Wimbledon to come. The ball skids low and rallies stay short, so the serve runs ahead of the return. Holds dominate, breaks are scarce, and a close set is decided in a tiebreak rather than by grinding. That keeps upset risk live even when the favourite is serving well. Best of three, flat hitters favoured.
