Tsonga got over 80% of his first serves in against Lopez in the first round. The serve has always been his biggest strength and it’s still there, but his fitness remains a big question mark. Humbert is a big hitting young player who will test Tsonga’s fitness and his backhand. This will be a tight match. 

Prediction: Humbert to win in three sets.
