When Daniil Medvedev communicates in the direction of his box, that's actually not a bad sign for the respective opponent. It suggests that the Russian doesn't agree with his own game. As in the first set of his semi-final against Oscar Otte on Saturday in HalleWestfalen. The German led 5: 3 in the first round, Medvedev had had to fend off a few breakballs by Otte earlier in the sentence.
But just at that moment Otte left his first serve. Medvedev managed the rebreak and won the first set 7:6 (3). And in the second act, he couldn't take an early break advantage. After the 6: 3, which Medvedev fixed with an ace, the world number one is playing for a title again this week. On Sunday Medvedev lost in the final against Tim van Rijthoven in 's-Hertogenbosch.
