Cincinnati sees Seidel's elimination from the quarterfinals.
Alexander Zverev and Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic Triumph in Doubles, Zverev Advances in Singles at ATP Hamburg
The ATP Hamburg tournament, a significant event with a prize money of approximately 5.2 million USD (around 4.5 million EUR), is proving to be an exciting stage for many professional players as it serves as a dress rehearsal for the last Grand Slam tournament of the season in New York.
In the doubles competition, the top-seeded pair, Marcelo Arevalo (El Salvador)/Mate Pavic (Croatia), claimed victory over Alexander Zverev and Marcelo Melo in a closely contested match. Zverev, the Olympic champion from Tokyo, suffered a defeat in the doubles competition, but he remains in the tournament in the singles competition. Melo, Zverev's partner in the doubles, is Brazilian.
German players Laura Siegemund, Eva Lys, and Tatjana Maria have been eliminated from the tournament.
Meanwhile, Ella Seidel, a 20-year-old German tennis player, has been making waves in the tournament. As of 2025, Seidel has achieved several notable milestones in her career. She maintains a career record of 140-93 (60.0%), competing in WTA, Grand Slams, and ITF tournaments. Her best performance was reaching the Round of 16 at the Cincinnati Open 2025, marking her debut in a WTA 1000 tournament. During this event, she upset seeded players Emma Navarro and McCartney Kessler.
Seidel has continued her strong form into the US Open qualifying rounds. She won her first-round match against Liechtenstein's Kathinka Von Deichmann and later defeated former No. 73 Sachia Vickery in the second round. Following these victories, she will face Australia's Destanee Aiava in the next round, aiming to secure a spot in the main draw.
As Seidel progresses in her career, she is expected to participate in more significant tournaments, potentially including future Grand Slams and WTA 1000 events. Her aggressive playing style and recent success suggest she is on the path to becoming a more prominent figure in women's tennis.
In the quarterfinals of the hardcourt tournament with a total prize money of 9.2 million USD (around 7.9 million EUR), Zverev will face either American Ben Shelton or Czech Jiri Lehecka. The tournament continues to provide an exciting showcase of top-tier tennis.
