Krajinovic vs Carreno Busta: who will win the tournament in Hamburg?

Krajinovic was in a downturn for a while. From the start of the tour, he didn't really show any impressive results. He played in the quarterfinals of Belgrade and Munich, but those are Filip's only successes in 2021.

Everything changed in Hamburg. Suddenly, Krajinovic showed an excellent game and strong character. His first wins were quite difficult. He needed three sets to defeat Daniel Altmaier and Philipp Kohlschreiber. But in the quarterfinals, he sent home Stefanos Tsitsipas himself, the World №4 (3-6, 6-1, 6-3). And in the semifinals, Krajinovic beat Laslo Djere (6-4, 6-2).

In recent years, Carreno Busta has performed successfully at the Hamburg Open. In 2018, the Spaniard reached the quarterfinals of the tournament, and in 2019 he played in the semifinals. Pablo started this years' campaign with a confident victory over Carlos Taberner (7-5, 6-3). After that, he outplayed Dusan Lajovic (7-6, 6-3) and Federico Delbonis (7-6, 6-3).

We would like to mention, that Carreno Busta played 20 matches on clay this season and won 16 of them. The only players he lost to were Nadal, Tsitsipas, Ruud and Delbonis.
