2003 Gerry Weber Open – Singles

Yevgeny Kafelnikov was the defending champion but lost in the first round to Karol Kučera.

Roger Federer won in the final 6–1, 6–3 against Nicolas Kiefer. This tournament marked the beginning of Federer's dominance on grass courts; he remained undefeated on the surface until the final of Wimbledon in 2008. Federer's subsequent 65-match winning streak on grass remains the longest tour-level winning streak on the surface for a male player in the Open Era. It was the first of a record ten singles titles won by Federer in Halle.
