The 2025 edition of the ATP Kitzbuhel Open is heating up quite nicely. The semifinals are all set and it is a great mix of top seeds and surprise entrants. As ever, we preview and predict both the semifinal matches for you.
ATP Kitzbuhel Semifinal Predictions
Arthur Cazaux vs Arthur Rinderknech
Head-to-head – First Meeting
Arthur Cazaux has impressed this week yet again by reaching the semifinals. He reached the semifinals last week as well in Gstaad and the young Frenchman is looking good. He faces the sixth seed and fellow countryman Arthur Rinderknech.
Rinderknech had a decent Wimbledon but on clay he has struggled this year. This week has again been a struggle for Rinderknech having needed three sets for all his three matches.
While Rinderknech does possess the bigger serve, Cazaux looks more promising from the baseline and in defence. Expect a tight and interesting battle with Cazaux reaching his first main draw final.
Prediction: Cazaux in 3
Alexander Bublik vs Botic van de Zandschulp
Head-to-head – Bublik 0-2 van de Zandschulp
Alexander Bublik has been having a great year. He has already won two titles with one last week in Gstaad. The Kazakh is really mixing it up very well from the baseline and managed to win his quarters quite easily despite not having his best serving day.
He faces Botic van de Zandschulp who has finally managed to reach the semifinals of a tournament this year. The Dutchman hasn’t had any momentum entering this week. He made the best of a manageable draw for him to reach the last four.
Bublik will look to have a great serving day and keep building up on the momentum he has in 2025. Expect Bublik to dominate and have a shot at back to back titles.
Prediction: Bublik in 2
