No. 2 seed Tomas Berdych will begin his ATP Halle campaign with a first round clash against Ruben BemelmansYou can watch and bet on the action from the ATP Halle Open at bet365Tomas Berdych is considered to be one of the main contenders for this week’s ATP Halle Open title, which is hardly surprising following his impressive displays on grass last season. The world No. 7 is the second seed here, and despite making a shock early exit at the French Open, has enjoyed a relatively good start to the season.
He will face Ruben Bemelmans of Belgium in his opening match here at Halle. Bemelmans isn’t really expected to provide much of a threat, and he’s yet to win a match at ATP level this season. Still, as the world No. 169, Bemelmans has nothing to lose, and will be doing his utmost to catch out Berdych in his first grass court match of the season.
This will be the first competitive meeting between Berdych and Bemelmans, though pre-match predictions won’t be difficult to make. Berdych should be looking to see out this clash in straight sets, and a positive start here could give him the perfect platform for a title challenge.
