Swiss World No. 2 Roger Federer has won the Halle tournament five times (2003-06, 2008) and holds the record for most singles titles. Federer also won four of them in consecutive years, and every time Federer won the title except in 2008, he went on to win the title at the Wimbledon Championships. Federer withdrew from the 2007 tournament, citing fatigue from his loss to second-ranked Rafael Nadal in the French Open men's final.
