Between 1993 and 2018 it was sponsored byGerry Weber . It was sponsored by Noventi from 2019 to 2021.[ 1] In December 2021, a change of primary sponsor and name was announced. In 2022, the name of theATP tournament was changed from the Noventi Open to the Terra Wortmann Open, as the company Wortmann AG secured the naming rights.[ 2]
The Halle Open is held at the same time as theQueens Club Championships , and the two are seen as the primary warm-up tournaments for theWimbledon Grand Slam tournament, also on grass courts, which begins towards the end of June. The event was upgraded in 2015 from a250 series to a500 series tournament.
The Centre Court (theOWL Arena ) has 12,300 seats and a retractable roof which can be closed in 88 seconds so that tennis matches can continue with a closed roof when it begins to rain. The stadium is heated and also used for other sport events (handball ,basketball ,volleyball andboxing ) and concerts.
