Billy Harris is attempting to reach his second successive Eastbourne International semi-final. To do so, the lucky loser must defeat the fourth seed Ugo Humbert. Can the British player cause a shock? Read our prediction of this grass court match.

Harris was beaten by George Loffhagen in the second qualifying round of this tournament. That was his sixth loss in eight matches but then the 30-year-old was reinstated as a lucky loser. Since then, he's beaten Cameron Norrie and Mattia Bellucci, both in straight sets.

He's 151st in the live rankings, 50 places below his career-high set last year. Harris had been failing to repeat his grass court successes of 2024 until this week. Last year he reached the semi-finals here and in two Challenger events.

Ugo Humbert has won the Halle grass court tournament on two occasions but lost in round one there last week. Before that though the Frenchman made it to the last four of the Libema Open and is again going well this week.

The world number 20 has twice reached the last 16 at Wimbledon, most recently last year. His one match in this tournament saw him beat Lorenzo Sonego in straight sets. We tip him to beat Harris without dropping a set.
