The recent victory over Canada was a testament to Germany's form and depth. Altmaier in his straight-sets victory over Gabriel Diallo was a model of precision and nerves of steel. Struff's three-set victory against Denis Shapovalov again proved to be a masterclass in clutch tennis. The Germans are well up, but the question lingers: will this momentum carry into a far sterner test?
Netherlands
Across the border, the Netherlands did the same, defeating Spain in a thrilling comeback. The straight-set win for Botic Van de Zandschulp against the great Rafael Nadal was little less than sensational. Though Tallon Griekspoor lost to Carlos Alvarez, the Dutch duo ensured victory as an example of team spirit and all-around capabilities.
Expert Betting Tips
This semifinal could well be decided by the whisker. The singles lineup is Germany's strong point, and Altmaier and Struff are in tremendous form. The aggressive game of Struff, along with Altmaier's consistent game, could give the Germans that vital advantage. Yet, the Netherlands' doubles could very well prove to be its trump card, especially if this tie goes down to the wire in a decider.
Both the teams are evenly matched, but Germany's singles strength gives them a slight edge. If the tie avoids a doubles decider, I expect Germany to advance to the final with a 2-1 victory.
