Evans will look to continue his efficiency on return against an efficient server like Otte who has continued to be clinical on serve throughout the season.
Playing styles and prediction
Otte has had another good season this year but will be disappointed with his lack of wins in the second half of the season especially on a surface that suits his game so well. The German’s precise serve mixed with consistency at the net can be a threat to any player on the tour and now Otte looks to rebuild his confidence ahead of next season.
Evans will look to continue to return with confidence and Otte’ serve and unique power from the baseline. The German will look to dictate through his serve and come into the net as much as possible to disrupt the Brit’s rhythm. Evans will need to be clinical on return if he wants to win this match and improve his break point conversion rate. Confidence is with the Brit and he starts as slight favourite but don’t be surprised if Otte makes this a tricky and complicated match-up for the Brit.
Prediction: Evans in three sets.
