Federer, Thiem to Face Germans in Halle Semi-Finals GERRY WEBER OPEN: DAY 6 MEDIA NOTES Saturday, June 18, 2016 Gerry Weber Stadion, Halle, Germany | June 13-19, 2016 Draw: S-32, D-16 | Prize Money: €1,700,610 | Surface: Grass ATP Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com www.gerryweber-open.de Martin Dagahs: [email protected] @ATPWorldTour @GerryWeberWorld Fabienne Benoit: [email protected] facebook.com/ATPWorldTour facebook.com/GerryWeberOpen Press Room: +49 5201 895298 FEDERER, THIEM TO FACE GERMANS IN HALLE SEMI-FINALS SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW: Alexander Zverev was a year old when Roger Federer debuted on the ATP World Tour. On Saturday, Zverev gets the chance to defeat Federer for the biggest win of his blossoming career and advance to the Gerry Weber Open final. Zverev leads the ATP’s ‘Next Generation’ of Top 200 players born after 1994 with 26 victories this season. He saved five set points in the first set of his quarter-final win over Marcos Baghdatis on Friday. Likewise, Federer saved five set points in the second set to defeat David Goffin in the quarter- finals. The eight-time champion has reached the Halle semi-finals in 12 straight appearances and would reach his 11th consecutive final at the event by beating Zverev for the second time this season. Federer eliminated Zverev in Rome last month and is on a 13-match winning streak against German opponents since falling to Daniel Brands at Gstaad in 2013. In the second semi-final, red-hot Austrian Dominic Thiem takes on resurgent German Florian Mayer. The 32-year-old Mayer was 0-5 in Halle quarter-finals before beating 2015 finalist Andreas Seppi on Friday. Recovered from an adductor tear, Mayer seeks his first ATP World Tour final since winning his lone title at Bucharest in 2011. Thiem, however, is 15-1 since May 18 and bidding for his sixth final appearance in less than six months of the 2016 season. Zverev and Mayer are attempting to become the second pair of Germans to meet for the Gerry Weber Open title after Philipp Kohlschreiber defeated Philipp Petzschner in the 2011 final.
