Hajek is 24-10 (as of today) in challengers this season. And he has made the SF of 5 of his last 6 challenger tournaments. He defends three SFs the next three weeks, so he really needs to win this event. But I right now think Zverev has a decent shot at it.

I think Zverev beats Marti and Greul beats AHM, but we'll see.

Awesome BH DTL from Jan a couple points ago. He looks comfortable.

Jan has no trouble whatsoever with Gaba's game. He should be winning this set more easily, though. Just too good a shot creator, too consistent, too everything.

Most upper-echelon Challenger players have at least one good spell in their careers DGT is not a bad player at all, but he's not as earth-shattering as some people make him out to be.

No, I'm not female (despite you referring to me as Coco. Ha).

Filo is just being gay.

That's true, but I'd consider DGT a lower-level ATP player instead of a higher-level challenger guy. I think he's done enough at the ATP level to be considered a legit ATP player and generally he does very well in challengers, he's above challengers, IMO. I do agree, though, that given he sucks about 70% of seasons, that he's not as good as some think he is, performance wise.

Hajek 6-4

Saved 0-40 in the final game of the first set.

[Filo V.]

Gaba is starting to hit through the ball a lot more.

[madmax]

match is in Gaba's hands, like usual - all the points are decided by either his aggressive shots or errors. Consistency is a big issue for him though, so pusher Hajek will probably take advantage of it

[Filo V.]

Hajek serving for the match at 5-4 second set.

Hajek isn't a pusher. I agree though that the second set has mostly been about Gaba making a winner or error.

Hajek def. Gabashvili 6-4 6-4

Good serving, good consistency and depth of shot from Jan today.

Rain in Marburg

Marti def. Zverev 3-6 6-4 6-2
Copil def. Zeballos 7-6(4) 6-7(1) 6-1
Haider-Maurer def. Greul 6-3 6-4

AHM played a very good match, was very aggressive, served well when need be. He looks confident. Final should theoretically be Hajek vs AHM, but I can see Marti's game getting under the Austrian's skin.
