Former champion Matteo Berrettini will aim to reach his third final at the tournament when he faces top seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. France&#8217;s Quentin Halys is the sole qualifier still standing and will play in-form German Jan-Lennard Struff. Who will advance to Sunday&#8217;s final?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Gstaad Semifinal Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Jan-Lennard Struff vs Quentin Halys<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Struff 1-0 Halys<\/p>\n<p>Every competitor in Gstaad is playing to their strengths. The tournament&#8217;s profile as a fast-playing clay court has considerably helped the likes of Jan-Lennard Struff and Quentin Halys. The Frenchman, in particular, is showing admirable resilience after a subpar start to the season. He&#8217;s won five matches in the last seven days (from qualifying) and produced <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TennisTV\/status\/1814227943503339617\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the shot-of-the-year contender<\/a> in his quarterfinal win. Struff, for his part, is coming off a terrific three-set win over Etcheverry. It&#8217;s no mean feat to beat the Argentinian on this surface. This will be a matchup where the odds should be much closer, with Halys finally getting over the hump of his previous semifinal loss (lost to Ruud in Estoril last year).<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Halys in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Matteo Berrettini<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head:<\/strong> Tsitsipas 4-0 Berrettini<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2024\/05\/25\/stefanos-tsitsipas-turnaround\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Stefanos Tsitsipas<\/a> only needed a 66-minute workout to beat 2017 champion Fabio Fognini in straight sets. He is two wins away from adding a second title to his 2024 collection (won in Monte Carlo in mid-April). Matteo Berrettini, meanwhile, won the clash of heavyweights to reach his third semifinal in Gstaad. He served his way past Felix Auger-Aliassime in two tie-breaks. Neither player dropped their serve during the match, but the Italian has been decisive in winning the big points this week. Although Tsitsipas&#8217; consistency on this surface makes him the slight favorite, Berrettini is 2-0 in previous semifinal appearances at this tournament. And he&#8217;s not flinching in his service games. I&#8217;ll back the upset here.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Berrettini in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The semifinal schedule at the ATP 250 in Gstaad promises two high-quality matches on paper.
