Can No. 2 seed Ugo Humbert take advantage of the draw seemingly opening up? Who do you think will reach the final?<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Den Bosch Semifinal Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Gabriel Diallo vs Ugo Humbert<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s good to see Ugo Humbert back in shape after struggling with an arm injury over the clay season. The Frenchman couldn&#8217;t properly hit through with his two-handed backhand and had to work extra hard to try to set up as many forehands as possible. But now it seems like this situation is behind him and we&#8217;re also on a court that fits him extremely well. His game thrives on surfaces that are fast and slick, but it&#8217;s not going to be that easy to neutralize the big weapons of Gabriel Diallo. Humbert&#8217;s flatter ball at the Canadian&#8217;s backhand might be the key here, even if Diallo&#8217;s playing with a lot of confidence after saving match points to beat Jordan Thompson.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Humbert in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"plFbrJP-STFqzSVZT-EKJA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2219152033\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'plFbrJP-STFqzSVZT-EKJA',sig:'onDET0r_J66u5F_-EsRo4bFAMDNubltYp24l0lFq5Pk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2219152033',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Reilly Opelka vs Zizou Bergs<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head<\/strong>: Bergs 1-0<\/p>\n<p>Reilly Opelka lost in the final qualifying round to Mark Lajal, really struggling to manage his giant body against balls bouncing low in his backhand corner. But the American&#8217;s weaponry has been shining through more and more after he received that second chance. On Friday, he basically backed himself in the tie-breaks against Daniil Medvedev and ended up claiming the win (had some big help with the three consecutive double faults in the second set breaker). Now he&#8217;s facing Zizou Bergs, who had to raise his level from where it was at the start of the week and has done just that.
