Talking about the performance in the tournament so far, Lajovic sailed past Adrian Mannarino 6-4, 6-1 in the opening round. The 30-year old Serbian, though, stunned everyone when he demolished 8th seed Karen Khachanov in straight sets 6-1, 6-2 in the Round of 16. The World No.24 looks in ominous form in Hamburg and can be a major headache for Tsitsipas.

Similarly, Tsitsipas trounced Dan Evans in straight sets 6-3, 6-1 in the first round. The 22-year old Greek then got the better of veteran Pablo Cuevas 7-5, 6-4 in a not-so-easy match in the second round.
