Hubert Hurkacz vs. Ugo Humbert: Match Prediction
While Hurkacz and Humbert both seek to overpower opponents from the baseline, similarities end there. Hurkacz is one of the Tour’s most powerful servers and hitters, and he moves well for his height. Meanwhile, Humbert wins points by placement and angles while also moving well.
Hubert Hurkacz is the heavy favorite over Ugo Humbert. He’s in the best shape of his life right now, winning three ATP titles this season, including the Shanghai Masters 1000. He has also only dropped one set in three matches this week in Basel. Humbert is a talented player, but he lacks Hurkacz’s consistency. He is also coming off a more challenging week, having played three three-set matches.
