This Friday?s matches will determine the semi-finals of the 31st edition of the Open 13 Provence!
Hubert Hurkacz will start the tournament and will try to keep his status of favourite of the tournament against Mikael Ymer. The Pole will have to take care of his level of play and his start to win against his opponent of the day. The Swede will be looking to repeat his performance at the Australian Open in 2021, where Mikael won.
The quarter-final match between Grigor Dimitrov and Alexander Bublik will follow. This will be their fifth meeting since the beginning of their careers (2-2). Whoever remains the most consistent in this match will win. Dimitrov will have to stay solid if he doesn't want to be knocked out by the powerful shots of the Kazakh, who is often compared to Nick Kyrgios.
At the end of the day, youth will clash with experience on the centre court of the Open 13 Provence! Stan Wawrinka, winner of sixteen tournaments, will be fighting for a place in the semi-finals against the French hopeful, Arthur Fils. The Swiss, who has already drawn on his reserves in the first two rounds, will have to shorten the exchanges to reach the last four. He will be up against Arthur Fils, who has shown match after match the extent of his talent at only 18 years old. Ultra physical, the young player says he is ready for the shock of the day!
To finish the day in style, the Marseilles public will have the pleasure of finding Benjamin Bonzi. Between him and the semi-finals stands the number 3 seed, Alex de Minaur. The latter will be keen to repeat the performance of their last confrontation in Melbourne last month when he defeated the Frenchman (7-6, 6-2, 6-1). But Benjamin will be able to count on the support of his fans to take his revenge and reach the semi-finals for the second year in a row!
