Pick 10: Hubert Hurkacz ML (1.50 Bet365)

Hurkacz and Humbert will be going head-to-head for the fourth time in their careers when they battle for a spot in the Open 13 title match on Saturday. All three of their previous encounters have gone the way of Hurkacz, who prevailed in straight sets at the 2022 Halle event, in three a year later on the indoor hard courts of Basel, and in four earlier this season at the Australian Open. After beating Humbert at Melbourne Park, Hurkacz ended up reaching the quarterfinals–where he lost to Daniil Medvedev in five sets. The eighth-ranked Pole has remained in fine form with Marseille victories over Alexander Shevchenko and Tomas Machac. Humbert booked his place in the semis by beating Hugo Gaston and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The 21st-ranked Frenchman has been playing the best tennis of his career dating back to last fall and he will have the home crowd behind him, so he cannot be discounted. However, even on a slow surface Hurkacz has been the most dominant player this week. The defending champion had absolutely no trouble with either Shevchenko or Machac; he appears to be on his way to a successful title defense.
