They made it to the semifinals on the back of two very impressive runs. Now, Valentin Royer and Corentin Moutet must meet for the first time ever on the hardcourt in the ATP 250 at Hangzhou for a chance at the prestigious cup. See our best Valentin Royer vs Corentin Moutet match prediction below.

Despite being the underdog, Valentin Royer is our pick to make it to the final, and you'd understand seeing his impressive run up to this point. Royer may have won 10 of his last 13 singles, but it's the final three that have left us no choice but to back him. Valentin Royer worked his way up from the qualifying stages of this tournament, but proved his skill when he first eliminated a higher-ranked Aleksandar Kovacevic in the RO32.

Yet, it was his next victory that shook tennis fans. Royer, who's currently ranked 88th, was pitted against world No.14 Andrew Rublev and came out unscathed, winning in straight sets. To show it wasn't a fluke, he immediately backed it up with another underdog win against Learner Tien in the quarterfinal. That's a run deserving of a final place, and we're taking the bet.

We're especially confident of Royer winning against Moutet, who relied on Tomas Etcheverry's retirement despite leading 1-0 on sets to make it to the semifinal.
