Novak Djoković defeated Yannick Hanfmann 6–3, 6–4 in the semi-final of the ATP 250 Athens tournament on hard court, extending his dominance in the event as the pre-match favourite. Djoković's victory came with relative comfort, securing both sets without dropping serve momentum against the German opponent. Hanfmann, despite competing at a 250-level semi-final, could not generate sufficient pressure against the Serbian's consistent baseline play and court control. The scoreline reflected the odds differential, with Djoković's 1.22 favouritism proving justified against Hanfmann's 4.11 underdog position. The result positions Djoković in the Athens final, where he will pursue another title in a tournament that has become a fixture in his autumn schedule.
