The semi-final casting of the matches is now set.
1) First match is the 4th Andrey Rublev vs giant-killer Nikoloz Basilashvili
2) Second match is Felix Auger Aliassime vs Ugo Humbert.

Both are unseeded that the finals can be a match between 2 unseeded players if Rublev will bow down to Basilashvili who has the weapons for an upset.
