The ATP 500 Halle will have two German semifinalists in this edition. One is Alexander Zverev and the other is Daniel Altmaier, the unexpected guest after defeating Daniil Medvedev on Friday. Altmaier played an incredible match on Friday to beat the Russian (6-4, 6-7, 6-4) and secure a spot among the tournament's top four, demonstrating that he has the quality to surprise in these events. It was their third encounter, and Daniil had always emerged victorious before, but this time the tables turned to give the underdog a well-deserved victory.

Some might consider this a disappointment considering Medvedev's past as a former world number one and Grand Slam champion, but the reality shows that the Moscow native has been struggling lately. Today, we saw him battling against the German for almost three hours, facing 15 aces from an inspired opponent who had never reached the semifinals of an ATP 500 event. Today was simply a reward for a player who has been knocking on the door for a long time, proving that he has the skill to compete with anyone, even if just for a day.

Daniel Altmaier's secret weapon is on the bench

What's behind Daniel Altmaier's exceptional performance this week in Halle? Just last week, we saw him lose in the first round in Stuttgart against Frances Tiafoe, but it was all part of a process. The German hasn't publicized it widely, but those following his matches will know that the person assisting him on this tour is the legendary Dustin Brown, a former player known for his expertise. This advantage, now, Altmaier is starting to make good use of.
