Are the really big tennis stars now returning to Hamburg’s Rothenbaum? The traditional ATP 500 tournament in Hamburg will have a new date from 2025 and will then take place again in the classic clay court season. This is an important upgrade for the Rothenbaum – which takes on much greater importance due to the date immediately before the French Open.
Next year the tournament will be played in Hamburg from May 18th to 24th – immediately before the French Open. This emerges from the tournament calendar for 2025, which the ATP published on Friday. The Rothenbaum is one of the last tests before the Grand Slam tournament and becomes an important dress rehearsal for the big tennis stars before Roland Garros. The only parallel event is a 250cc tournament in Geneva.
New date for the ATP tournament at Rothenbaum in Hamburg
“The change in the calendar will have a positive effect on the Hamburg ATP tournament and, above all, the players will be happy. Because immediately afterwards, the highlight of the clay court season will take place with the French Open in Paris,” said DTB President Dietloff von Arnim, commenting on the new date for the Rothenbaum event, for which the DTB has the license until at least 2037. “The Hamburg Open will remain one of the top addresses in the international tennis circuit.”

The tennis tournament at Hamburg’s Rothenbaum will take place again at a much more convenient time in the future.
So far, the game has been played in Hamburg after Wimbledon, this year from July 13th to 21st, 2024. At this point, most of the professionals are already in the middle of the grass season, but at Rothenbaum they have to return to clay again – an unfavorable undertaking for Hamburg Competition.

This year the tournament will be hosted by the new organizer Tennium for the first time.
