Nicolai Budkov Kjaer and Titouan Droguet meet in the semifinal at Cassis on Saturday. Titouan Droguet is rolling — 3 straight wins, 6 of 10 in recent play. Nicolai Budkov Kjaer brings a 3-match winning streak into this one, 3-7 across the last ten.

Droguet's 71.9% behind the first serve (against 68.3% for Kjaer) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Kjaer comes in off a compressed schedule; Droguet comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Droguet — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
