Second seed Matteo Berrettini takes on Oscar Otte in the semifinals of the BOSS Open in Stuttgart. The Italian, a semifinalist at the 2022 Australian Open, has won 11 out of 17 matches so far this season.
Berrettini returned to action during the grass-court season after being sidelined for a couple of months due to injury. The 26-year-old started off by beating Radu Albot in three sets to reach the quarterfinals, where he came back from a set down to defeat compatriot Lorenzo Sonego.

The German first beat compatriot Daniel Altmaier 7-6(2), 7-6(4), before defeating Denis Shapovalov by the same scoreline. In the quarterfinals, he received a walkover as his opponent Benjamin Bonzi withdrew.

Matteo Berrettini vs Oscar Otte prediction
Berrettini will enter the match as the heavy favorite to win. The Italian has a pretty good record on grass, having won the Queen's Club Championships last year while also reaching the Wimbledon final.
The 26-year-old is one of the finest servers in the world and will look to make the most out of it. He also has a pretty strong forehand which can make things difficult for Otte.
The German's service game has been pretty astute so far, winning 86 out of 100 points on his first serve so far. He did well to beat Denis Shapovalov but will have to be at his absolute best if he is to beat Berrettini.
While the Italian is returning after a few months, he still looks good enough to get the better of Otte and reach his first final of 2022.
Pick: Berrettini to win in straight sets.
