Rajeev Ram will take on Konstantin Kravchuk on Saturday for a place in the final of the Ortisei ChallengerYou can watch and bet on the ATP Ortisei Challenger live for free at bet365 > live tennisRajeev Ram saw off the threat of German qualifier Marcel Zimmerman on Friday, earning a berth in the final four with a 6-4, 6-4 success. The American has been in top form recently, and he enters this competition after winning the title last week in Eckantal. Back-to-back titles could well be on the way for Ram.
He’ll now have to meet Konstantin Kravchuk of Russia in the semi-finals on Saturday. Kravchuk’s recent form has been good, but he’s not managed to make a huge deal of progress in any of his recent tournaments. He enters this matchup as the underdog.
Ram’s recent form makes him the favourite here, and to add to this Kravchuk might be feeling a little fatigued following his 6-4, 6-7(7), 7-6(5) win against Ruben Bemelmans in the quarter-finals. If Ram can make a convincing start to the contest, he’ll be well positioned to earn the right to compete in the final.
