Overview
- Fonseca and Altmaier entered the Halle main doubles draw as lucky losers after losing in qualifying and reached the final as late replacements.
- Their semifinal featured a high‑pressure comeback in which they saved match point and closed the match tiebreak 11–9 to advance to the title match.
- Arribage and Olivetti won the final in straight sets, with the match lasting 1 hour 22 minutes and the French pair winning nearly all first‑serve points.
- Fonseca also lost in Halle singles and will head next to the ATP 250 event in Eastbourne as part of his grass‑court build‑up to Wimbledon.
- The run highlighted scheduling strains at Halle after long singles semis forced the doubles semifinal to be moved and underscored Fonseca’s growing versatility as a 19‑year‑old still focused on his singles career.
