The top seed will progress into the semifinals

The quarterfinal clash between the duo promises to be a thriller. Bautista Agut is the fresher of the two players going into the clash, and is well-rested. The Spaniard has played just one match all week, on the other hand, Humbert has played two matches, including a three-set marathon. The Frenchman might not have fully recovered from his second round match, which gives Bautista Agut the edge in this encounter. However, Humbert is a warrior and will not go down without putting up a fight in his home tournament.
