Ugo Humbert is the favorite to win the quarterfinal clash and book a place in the last four. However, Rinderknech has been in red hot form this week, and has won four successive matches to make it this far. Humbert has a strong game on hard courts, winning the Antwerp Open last year. The match is expected to be a three set thriller and can go either way. Humbert will just edge out his fellow Frenchman, defeating him in a close encounter.
