Overview
- The ATP 250 event in Adelaide is down to two semifinals: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina vs Ugo Humbert and Tommy Paul vs Tomas Machac.
- Ugo Humbert has not dropped a set this week, dispatching Terence Atmane, Tallon Griekspoor and Alexander Shevchenko, while Tomas Machac advanced in straight sets over James Duckworth, Quentin Halys and Jaume Munar.
- Tommy Paul, returning from adductor and foot issues that curtailed his 2025 season, reached the last four with straight‑set wins against Reilly Opelka and Aleksandar Vukic.
- Head‑to‑head notes include Machac leading Paul 2–1, and mixed reporting on Davidovich Fokina’s edge over Humbert (listed as either 3–1 or 3–2), with Humbert winning their completed hard‑court meetings.
- Forecasts vary, but betting pieces flag value on Machac +2.5 games and on Humbert to win, even as some previews pick Paul to advance.
