Italy wins the ATP 500 in Halle, a historic men's tennis event that comes before Wimbledon and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. On German grass, Jannik Sinner won the singles, while Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori won the doubles. In the final, the South Tyrolean defeated Hubert Hurkacz of Poland, 7-6(8) 7-6(2), after nearly two hours of play. In his first official appearance as world number one, the Vagnozzi and Cahill pupil won the 14th title of his young career, the fourth of the season, and the first on the green. The Italians duo also celebrated, as they defeated the hosts, Tim Puetz and Kevin Krawietz, 7-6(3) 7-6(5), forcing them to raise the white flag after an hour and 45 minutes of competition. The Italians, who have already reached the finals of the Australian Open and Roland Garros this year, have officially confirmed their position as number one in the 2024 ATP Race. In the end, Lorenzo Musetti was unable to win his third career title while competing on the grass at Queen's in London. In fact, in the final, he had to concede with a score of 6-1 7-6(8) to American Tommy Paul, who closed on the third match point available in the final tie-break.
