Alexander Zverev vs Daniil Medvedev prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Halle Open 2025

Halle semis will mark their 20th meeting, but first ever encounter on grass.

It has taken a while, but Alexander Zverev is set to play against Daniil Medvedev once again, having previously faced off nearly 18 months ago. Medvedev’s poor form has been no secret, the Russian last won a title back in 2023, and has lost his place in the top-10 of ATP rankings. He has managed to register only one Grand Slam match win in 2025, with a series of opening round defeats.

However, the resumption of the grass season will delight the 29-year-old Russian, as he holds a decent record on this surface. Medvedev reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon in both 2023 and 2024, and if he wishes to re-assert the dominance he once held on the ATP tour, he must regain his mojo, and a title in Halle would be the perfect stepping stone towards this target.

Match details

• Tournament: Halle Open 2025
• Round: Semi-final
• Date: June 21
• Venue: Halle (Westfalen), Germany, OWL Arena
• Surface: Grass

Preview

Zverev reached the Boss Open finals a week ago, losing to Taylor Fritz in the finals. The German holds an average record against top ranked players, and has not enjoyed playing against Medvedev in the past. The 28-year-old was tested by Lorenzo Sonego in the round of 16.

Medvedev hasn’t played a final in 2025, but his record against Zverev would give him a psychological advantage. The Russian has won six of the duo’s previous seven contests, with the overall h2h being 12-7 in favor of Medvedev. However, upon a closer look, Zverev had began this rivalry with a 4-0 lead, and since then, has won only three out of the 15 times they have clashed.

Medvedev’s unorthodox game-style and ability to produce his best tennis against the better players, is a stark contrast to Zverev’s mode of going passive against the better players. This approach of his, has previously costed him against top seeds including Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner. Halle Open 2025 will mark their maiden duel on grass, promising an intense showdown of high-voltage tennis.

Match prediction

Zverev has a poor record against higher quality rivals. While Medvedev hasn’t had a great season until now, he has looked promising in Halle. The Russian has shown glimpses of his previous best, and is playing his best tennis.

The German would hope to maintain an aggressive template for the full duration of the contest, as he tends to allow the Russian to dictate terms, as seen in the duo’s previous exchanges. The six-time Halle finalist Zverev might seal the opening set, but Medvedev’s never-die attitude might come to the fore, and we back him to get the job done in three sets.

Result: Daniil Medvedev to win in three sets.
