Prediction published on 22/07/2023, 02:06  by Kennedy Kechula in Tennis Predictions

Qualifier Hamad Medjedovic and the unseeded Pedro Cachin will on Saturday duel in the Swiss Open semifinals. Progressing from this tie will set up a showdown with either Miomir Kecmanovic or Albert Ramos Vinolas in the final. Pedro Cachin is yet to drop a set in Gstaad. He has pretty much dominated his opponents except for his second-round showdown with top seed Roberto Bautista Agut. The match lasted for more than two hours and saw each set require a tiebreaker. In the last round, he defeated another Spaniard Jaume Munar, dropping six games in the match. Cachin has had his best moments so far on clay where the majority of his victories have come. Struggling with his form, the Argentine has claimed 22 of his 23 victories in 2023 on clay. He is currently ranked 76th in the live ranking, a 14 place leap after advancing to this round.

Hamad Medjedovic is the only qualifier left in the competition. He has been a giant killer in the Gstaad in what is his debut here. The Serbian will now hope he rides this momentum to win his first tour title and add to the two Challengers already won. Medjedovic defeated fifth seed Zhang Zhizhen in the first round and then former champion Dominic Thiem in the second round. To book this match with Cachin, the 20-year-old sent fourth seed Yannick Hanfman packing in straight sets. Just like Cachin, Medjedovic has had the majority of his 30 victories secured on clay. He has won 20 of the 26 matches he has played on the surface and is now up 102 places in the live ranking. His win over Hanfman has him in a new career-high ranking of number 144.
