In the Halle Open betting trends, Medvedev was set as the +250 favorite to win in the tournament’s opening betting lines. Otte opened at +3300 to be the winner in the Halle Open.

Medvedev Is a Grass Master

Supposedly, grass is supposed to be a weaker part of Medvedev’s game. However, the world’s #1 player’s stats and performance on the surface beg to differ.

He’s 6-1 (.857) on the surface this year and 31-15 (.674) during his career. That’s not shabby.

In the Halle Open, Medvedev hasn’t dropped a set through three rounds. He’s only lost 20 games. Medvedev overcame #7 seed Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain 6-2, 6-4 in his quarterfinal match. It took just one hour and 27 minutes to complete the victory.

He saved all nine break points forced by Bautista Agut. Through the tournament, Medvedev has staved off all 17 service breaks he’s encountered.

Otte Looking to Go One Step Further

Will it be third-time lucky for Otte? The German player has taken full advantage of the benefits that home courts offer. He’s through to the semifinals of of his third straight tournament in Germany.

Otte reached the semifinals on the clay at Munich and the grass courts of Stuttgart but he didn’t advance to the final on either occasion. He’s never played in an ATP Tour tournament final since turning pro in 2011. This will be Otte’s first appearance in the semifinals of an ATP 500 event.

Unseeded in the Halle Open and #51 in the ATP world rankings, Otte dispatched #8 seed Karen Khachanov in the quarterfinals, though he required three sets to do so.

Otte served 22 aces during the match and saved all five break points. His 4-6, 7-6, 6-4 win was fashioned in two hours and 11 minutes.

Medvedev vs Otte Prediction

This match will be the first meeting between these two players. Medvedev managed to win just seven of 21 second-service points against Bautista Agut. Could this be an area in Medvedev’s games that the German player can exploit?

Medvedev most certainly will look to take advantage of Otte’s relatively ordinary service game. He’s only delivered 162 aces this year, compared to 277 for Medvedev. And the Russian player is among the best return players in the game today.

Medvedev vs Otte Stats

Daniil Medvedev

85% Service Games Won 80%
27% Return Games Won 23%
67% Break Points Saved 67%
277 Aces 162

That factor, combined with the absolute consistency of Medvedev’s game, will make on court like difficult for Otte. The Russian will utilize his deeper shotmaking ability to keep the German on the back foot and control the flow of play.

It only took Medvedev 18 games to send Bautista Agut, the world’s #20-ranked player, packing. That being the case, it’s difficult to imagine any result other than a straight-set Medvedev victory. And it’s hard to imagine it will take as many games as he needed to overcome Bautista Agut.

Picks: Under 20.5 games (+130); Medvedev 2-0 (-208)
