Top seed Daniil Medvedev and qualifier Marcos Giron will on Monday battle in the first round at the Halle Open. The winner of this match will advance to play either wildcard Oscar Otte or the unseeded Laslo Djere in the second round. Daniil Medvedev started his grass-court campaign with a loss. He suffered a shock early exit in Hertogenbosch and will seek to avoid another embarrassment. The Russian is making his third appearance in this outdoor grass court tournament. He made the final last season and will be out to protect the points acquired then. The current world number three has defeated Giron in both encounters with each other. The latest was a straight-sets win in the first round in Melbourne. Medvedev has again been spectacular this season and brings with him a 39-7 win/loss record and five titles.

He also started his grass-court campaign with a loss, as he was eliminated in the first round in Stuttgart. Starting in the qualifying rounds in Halle has seen him improve this record to two wins and one loss. The American defeated Pavel Kotov 2-0 before Andrea Vavassori put up a tougher fight in a 2-1 loss. Giron is not a strong performer on grass and since making his debut on the surface in 2019 has compiled a 15-11 record. He starts the week ranked 57th in the live ranking.
