Friday February 9, the 1/4 finals
Hubert Hurkacz 🇵🇱 vs Tomas Machac 🇨🇿 : 6/3 6/4
The Polish giant did not hang out on the court
Ugo Humbert 🇫🇷 vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 🇪🇸: 6/1 6/4
Opposed to the TDS 5, the left-handed Habs once again impressed by producing an almost perfect match. From the first exchanges he attacks the Spaniard, makes the break and flies irresistibly towards a place in the semi-final.
I was comfortable in my bubble, comfortable in my intentions. And I had a great match. I varied the speeds well, I tried to take him out of the court to accelerate, with effective long line shots. I didn’t take any risks. I felt like I had control of the match. I was fine! » ” Humbert said.
Karen Khachanov 🇷🇺 vs Zhizhen Zhang 🇨🇳 : 6/4 6/1
Back at a very good level of play, the Russian pulverized Auger Aliassime’s winner.
Arthur Rinderknech 🇫🇷 vs Grigor Dimitrov 🇧🇬 : 3/6 6/7 (3)
Despite great resistance from the Frenchman, talent made the difference.

Saturday February 10, the 1/2 finals
Hubert Hurkacz 🇵🇱 vs Ugo Humbert 🇫🇷 : 4/6 4/6
Monstrous from the first strokes of the racket, the left-handed Tricolore takes the Polish giant by the throat and immediately makes the break. Hurkacz, title holder, will never recover.
“He had opportunities to come back to 5-5 in the first set and break the break in the second. I stayed strong in my head. I finished very well in the last game. I’m happy. It’s a great victory against last year’s winner.
And then it’s nice to win like that in Marseille. I have good memories. I feel like this is where it all started with my first half (in 2019). I experienced lots of new things. Putting my name here means a lot to me.” said Ugo Humbert, the man who never loses in the final.
Karen Khachanov 🇷🇺 vs Grigor Dimitrov 🇧🇬 : 7/6 (3) 4/6 7/6 (5)
Superb semi-final, 2h57 long, between the Russian and the Bulgarian who will manage to conclude after 2h58 of play.
