Analysis

Hamburg used to have a reputation for being fast for a clay court, but that has changed since it was moved after the French Open. The temperatures in northern Germany now slow down the courts significantly.

The center court with its retractable roof is crucial. If it rains, the roof closes and it plays much faster indoors than outdoors. This difference is huge: the matches outside are slow, the matches inside are fast. You really have to adapt your tactics depending on where you are playing.

The recent champions (Cobolli, Fils, Zverev) have something in common: they are tactically intelligent and mentally quick to change their strategy according to the conditions.
