Andrey Rublev vs Ugo Humbert prediction
Andrey Rublev’s experience of Dubai 2026 has a distinctive French flavour.
The Russian sauntered to a 6-3 6-4 win over Valentin Royer in the first round and now faces his compatriot Ugo Humbert for a place in the last eight.
Ugo opened with a 6-4 7-5 triumph over Stefanos Tsitsipas and will now do battle with Rublev for a sixth time.
Andrey leads the match-up 3-2 but you have to go back to 2023 for their last encounters when the Russian won two of three showdowns that year.
Humbert has the serve and weapons to have his say on a hardcourt but, as ever, Rublev’s humongous forehand will be the key. If that fires, only the very best can resist.
