Hamburg Open 2026 preview and where to watch
The Hamburg Open returns to Hamburg, Germany for its 2026 edition, played from 17–23 May on Clay.
What's at stake
As a 500-level event, the winner takes home 500 ranking points. These tournaments fill the gaps between the Masters/Slams and are where players rebuild form, defend points, or run up an early-season title streak.
The Hamburg Open starts in 18 days. The draw lands a few days before the first ball is struck — we'll publish the bracket here as soon as it's set.
The conditions
Clay is the slowest surface on tour — the ball sits up, points get longer, and the bigger your topspin, the more you control the rally. At Hamburg, expect heavy court coverage to count more than raw power.
Topspin baseliners and movers tend to dominate clay events of this size. The week’s pace and bounce will favour those who arrive with rhythm — watch the warm-up events on the same surface for an early read on form.
