Humbert Responds Well After Montpellier Setback
Ugo Humbert suffered a frustrating loss in Montpellier last week after letting a strong position slip against Adrian Mannarino.
However, he has responded well in Rotterdam, putting that setback behind him with a solid run to the quarterfinals.
This is his first quarterfinal at this venue after three previous first-round exits, marking a small breakthrough for the Frenchman.
Humbert has built a strong record in indoor quarterfinals, winning his last four at this stage dating back to late 2024.
He also claimed a quarterfinal win earlier this season in Adelaide, where he dominated Alexander Shevchenko.

O’Connell Revives Season With Strong Week
Christopher O’Connell arrived in Rotterdam on a five-match losing streak and with little experience at this venue.
He had never previously played a main-draw match here, making expectations fairly modest coming into the week.
However, he has turned things around impressively by winning four matches, starting in qualifying and carrying that momentum into the main draw.
The highlight so far has been a strong win over Cameron Norrie, showing his growing confidence indoors.
This is only the Australian’s second ATP indoor quarterfinal and his first since Belgrade in 2024, where he lost to a leftie, Denis Shapovalov, in straight sets.

Verdict
The price on Christopher O’Connell looks appealing here. While he may not be fully reliable to beat Humbert indoors, his current form and momentum should allow him to stay competitive.
He has enough level to win a healthy number of games, which makes options like Humbert plus over 19.5 games and O’Connell +4.5 on the handicap look attractive for this matchup.
Humbert + Over 19.5
