Rublev and Auger-Aliassime Poised for Semifinal Matches at ATP Montpellier

Top seeds Andrey Rublev and Felix Auger-Aliassime prepare to face Kovacevic and De Jong, respectively, in Saturday's semifinals.

Andrey Rublev, ranked 10th in the world, will face qualifier Aleksandar Kovacevic in the semifinals after a straightforward path through the tournament so far.
Rublev has shown strong form in Montpellier, winning his matches comfortably and benefiting from a retirement by Nikoloz Basilashvili in the quarterfinals.
Felix Auger-Aliassime, currently ranked 23rd, is set to compete against Jesper de Jong, who has had a career-best week reaching the semifinals.
Auger-Aliassime has excelled on indoor hard courts, with five of his six ATP titles coming on this surface, including a recent win in Adelaide.
Both Kovacevic and De Jong are significant underdogs, with Kovacevic ranked 102nd and De Jong ranked 131st, but each has displayed impressive performances to reach this stage.
