“I had my chances but couldn’t take them. But you have to do that when you play against the number one. Otherwise it will be difficult,” explained Oscar Otte after the game. The tournament was definitely “a step in the right direction”.
Otte gave the number one in the world a big fight. For a long time, the man from Cologne had advantages in the first set, especially after the break to 5: 3 it looked excellent.
However, Otte missed a set ball a little later on his own serve with a double fault. A mistake that should take revenge.

The preliminary decision was made in the sixth game of the second set. Medvedev, who had the momentum on his side, took the service game from Otte to make it 4:2.
After a playing time of one hour and 39 minutes, the Russian made it through to the final with his own service.
At Challenger level, a “league” below the ATP Tour, Otte has five individual tournament victories to his credit – including the three titles from the previous year in Ismaning, Ortisei in Gröden and Bari.
