Second seed Alexander Zverev will take on Lorenzo Sonego while third seed Daniil Medvedev will face Zhang Zhizhen. Defending champion and seventh seed Alexander Bublik will look to book his place in the quarterfinals as he squares off against Christopher Eubanks.

The likes of Matteo Berrettini and Arthur Fils will also be in action. On that note, let's take a look at the predictions of some of the men's singles fixtures on Day 3 of the Terra Wortmann Open.


#1. Alexander Zverev vs Lorenzo Sonego

Second seed Alexander Zverev will take on Lorenzo Sonego in the second round of the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle. It will be the fourth meeting between the two.

Both players had a hard road to reach the second round of the ATP 500 event, with Zverev coming back from a set down to beat Oscar Otte 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 while Sonego beat Miomir Kecmanovic 7-6(6), 7-6(5).

The German has had an impressive 2024 season so far, during which, he won the Italian Open and reached the semifinals of the French Open. Sonego, on the other hand, has been disappointing so far this season, with only nine wins out of 25 matches so far. His most notable performance has been a Round-of-16 appearance at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Zverev's performances over the past few months have been impressive and couple that with Sonego's poor form, the German should be able to register a comprehensive win to reach the quarterfinals in Halle.


#2. Arthur Fils vs Dominik Koepfer

World No. 37 Arthur Fils will take on Dominik Koepfer in the second round of the Terra Wortmann Open. It will be the very first encounter between the two.

Fils booked his place in the second round of the ATP 500 event in Halle by beating Tomas Machac 6-4, 6-4 while Koepfer let 6-4, 4-3 before his first-round opponent Felix Auger-Aliassime retired due to injury.

The Frenchman has won 15 out of 30 matches so far this season, notably reaching the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open. Koepfer has won 14 out of 28 fixtures so far in 2024, having reached the quarterfinals of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel.

Neither player has made much of an impact on grass-courts but Fils' dynamics might see him just about get the win and reach the last eight in Halle.

Predicted Winner: Arthur Fils.


#3. Jan-Lennard Struff vs Luciano Darderi

Jan-Lennard Struff will face Luciano Darderi in the second round of the Terra Wortmann Open. It will be the very first encounter between the two.

Struff last competed at the BOSS Open in Stuttgart as the seventh seed, where he reached the quarterfinals before withdrawing. Darderi, on the other hand, is coming at the back of a Challenger event triumph in Perugia.

Struff has won 19 out of 31 matches so far this season, while Darderi has triumphed in 17 out of 26. The German will enter the match as the favorite to win and his experience on grass should be able to see him reach the quarterfinals of the Terra Wortmann Open.

Predicted Winner: Jan-Lennard Struff
