Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head between Charles Broom and Oliver Tarvet is level at one win apiece. Their most recent meeting came just a week ago, with Tarvet coming out on top. The h2h adds an extra edge, but it doesn't look like a decisive factor heading into this semi-final.
Head-to-head statistics Broom - Tarvet
Charles Broom Player Overview
Charles Broom arrives at the semi-finals in strong form, having won 9 of his last 10 matches. He has been equally impressive in this tournament, winning all three of his matches to reach this stage. There are, however, concerns around his serve: he has held just 41% of his service games, which is a vulnerability against a strong opponent on hard courts. On the other hand, his return game has been solid, and a break-point conversion rate of 48% has helped him stay competitive despite the serving struggles. Overall, his recent form is hard to dismiss - no straight-sets defeats and nine straight-sets wins across his last ten matches.

Oliver Tarvet Player Overview
Tarvet has also won nine of his last ten matches and has been playing some of his best tennis on hard courts. His hold rate is notably strong - he wins around 60% of his service games - and averaging 6.7 aces per match gives him an additional edge on a fast surface. With a 56% points-won rate and a reliable serve, he tends to dictate the tempo of his matches. In their most recent head-to-head meeting against Broom, those factors proved decisive.

Key factors

- Over his last 10 matches, Tarvet has won nine and holds a high games-won percentage.
- The head-to-head record is level, though Tarvet won their most recent meeting.
- Tarvet's ace and serve statistics are stronger, which gives him an edge on hard courts.
Expected scenario
Tarvet looks the clear favourite here. His solid hold rate and run of convincing wins suggest this one is unlikely to go three sets. A close contest seems improbable - he has the tools to control proceedings from the off, and the margin in games could be wide enough to cover the handicap.
Total Games Prediction
Broom's matches tend to be short on games - most of them wrap up well inside 22. That fits the picture of one player pulling clear comfortably, without extended sets or a deciding third.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Given Oliver Tarvet's superiority across the key serving metrics and a run of convincing wins with comfortable game margins, this semi-final looks set to follow a similar pattern - another straightforward victory for the favourite, without a prolonged finish or a third set. The historical stats support that kind of outcome, with the advantage expected to be clear across two sets. Our pick is Oliver Tarvet - Games Handicap -3.5.
