Fourth-seeded Ugo Humbert will face USA's Jenson Brooksby in the semifinals of the 2025 Eastbourne Open on Friday (June 27).

Ad

Humbert has enjoyed a respectable season on the ATP Tour this year, recording a 17-12 win/loss record thus far and securing his seventh career title at the Open 13 Provence earlier in February. Following a disappointing start to his grasscourt campaign, which saw him suffer an upset loss in the semifinals of the Libema Open to Gabriel Diallo before a first-round exit at the Halle Open, the 27-year-old has made plenty of amends at this week's Eastbourne Open.

The Frenchman has defeated Lorenzo Sonego and Billy Harris at the ATP 250 tournament without the loss of a single set. His next opponent will be the resurgent Brooksby, who qualified for the grasscourt event before beating the likes of Nuno Borges and Dan Evans en route to the semifinals.

Humbert has been firing from all cylinders in Eastbourne this week, as he has seemingly taken well with the grasscourts employed at the tournament. In his quarterfinal win over local favorite Harris, the World No. 20 won 77% of his first-serve points while dominating proceedings from the baseline. The fourth seed's lefty forehand will come to good use against a defender of Brooksby's quality, allowing him to create some nifty angles.

Ad

The World No. 149 qualifier, meanwhile, has been playing interesting tennis this week, mixing up dropshots and slices well enough with his groundstrokes. The 24-year-old's serve was on fire during his last-eight victory against Evans, in particular, as he won a whopping 21 of his 24 (88%) points on first serve. If the American brings the same form against Humbert on Friday, he is likely to get through to his second ATP Tour final of 2025.

Pick: Brooksby to win in three sets.
