Prediction published on 5/21/26, 4:05 AM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 5/21/26 at 9:00 AM in Tennis Picks

We’ll soon find out who will succeed Flavio Cobolli at this Hamburg tournament! In this match, Peru’s Ignacio Buse will face France’s Ugo Humbert in a bid to reach the semifinals. 

Ignacio Buse seems to particularly enjoy German tennis courts! Indeed, the 22-year-old, who entered through qualifying, has pulled off a surprise in every match, managing to eliminate the defending champion himself, Flavio Cobolli (world No. 12), in just two sets. And the Peruvian didn’t stop there, as he then dispatched world No. 28 Jakub Mensik with a score of 6-0, 6-3. Buoyed by the confidence gained from these two victories, he should be in top form for this quarterfinal. 

Hugo Humbert arrived in Germany in a slump. In fact, he hadn’t managed to string together two consecutive wins since March on the hard courts of the Miami Masters 1000, where he reached the round of 16. In this Hamburg tournament, the 27-year-old narrowly avoided defeat in his first-round match against local player J. Engel (ranked 190th in the world) before playing a similarly close match against top-20 player Karen Khachanov, battling for over two hours until a third-set tiebreak. These two grueling matches likely took a toll on his fitness.
