Martin Landaluce Player Overview
Martin Landaluce arrives at the semi-final in inconsistent form, with 4 wins from his last 10 matches. Over that stretch he has had trouble holding serve: his hold percentage stands at 74%, and he has won only 48% of games overall - fewer than his opponents. Also notable is how often he has been bagelled in sets: 3 of those 10 matches ended 0-2, which may point to a risk of conceding large numbers of games even when he plays well in patches. On the attacking side, Martin averages 5 aces per match but double-faults frequently, on average on 6% of points played.

Key factors
- Liam Draxl has won more than 11.5 games in 10 consecutive matches.
- In his last 10 matches, Draxl has won 8 and taken 56% of games.
- The average number of games in Draxl's matches is 25.
Expected scenario
This semi-final looks set to be a competitive affair, with both players capable of pushing each other across virtually every aspect of the game. Given Liam Draxl's current numbers in games won and consistency on serve, there is a reasonable case for him to exceed 11.5 games again - he should take at least one set fully, and can remain competitive in the other even if the score goes against him.
Total Games Prediction
A lengthy run of his individual total going over points to Liam's ability to consistently win a solid number of games on both serve and return, regardless of the opponent's ranking or the stage of the tournament. This makes the bet a logical one, particularly against an opponent who has yet to find full consistency at main-draw level.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Current form and match statistics place Liam Draxl among the more productive players at this stage - he regularly holds serve at a high rate, converts breaks effectively and rarely collapses even against strong opponents. Against Martin Landaluce, that style of play makes it reasonable to expect at least one full set or a tight scoreline through to tie-breaks. The pick is Liam Draxl - Player Total Games Over 10.5.
