Third seed Alex de Minaur will meet qualifier Mattia Bellucci as the two players continue their impressive runs at the Rotterdam Open. They will battle in the semi-finals with the winner playing Carlos Alcaraz, Pedro Martinez, Andrey Rublev or Hubert Hurkacz for the title. Below is our prediction for this match.

Alex de Minaur is a win away from achieving back-to-back final appearances in Rotterdam. He is having a terrific start to the season and has so far won 10 of 11 matches.

De Minaur defeated lucky loser Daniel Altmaier by the loss of five games in the quarter-finals. The player is yet to lose a set this week, and has moved up one place to seventh in the world rankings.

Mattia Bellucci has made it to the semi-finals of a tour tournament for the first time. He has done well this week and will be confident of causing another upset to get to the final.

The Italian, with odds against him, defeated two seeded players on his way to this round. He first saw off second seed and former Rotterdam champion Daniil Medvedev in the second round.

In the quarter-finals, the 23-year-old pegged back sixth seed and former finalist here Stefanos Tsitsipas. In both matches, he relinquished just one set.

Bellucci, who is on a five-match winning streak, has moved up to 68th in the live ranking, a new career high.
