The ATP Hamburg Open 2024 is all set for an exciting finish as just four men remain in contention for the trophy. Three of the top five seeds have made it thus far and it remains to be seen who progresses further. As ever, we at LWOT preview and predict both the semifinal clashes for you.
Head to head – First Meeting
Sebastian Baez holds a significant advantage over Arthur Fils due to his proven prowess on clay courts. Baez has already secured two clay court titles recently, showcasing his exceptional form and familiarity with the surface. His strong defensive skills and ability to grind out points make him a formidable opponent. However, Arthur Fils, a promising talent, is likely to put up a spirited fight, drawing on his own strengths. Despite Fils’ potential, Baez’s experience and current form suggest he will likely emerge victorious in what promises to be a competitive encounter.

Alexander Zverev is poised to dominate against Pedro Martinez, despite Martinez’s strong performance this week. Zverev, with his high ranking and recent form, has found his rhythm and confidence on the court. Known for his powerful serves and aggressive baseline play, Zverev will likely dictate the pace of the match. While Martinez has shown resilience and skill, particularly on clay, Zverev’s superior experience and consistency at this level make him the favorite. Expect Zverev to control proceedings with his commanding presence, aiming to advance confidently in the tournament.
