KAREN KHACHANOV VS UGO HUMBERT PREDICTION
Karen Khachanov is playing some lights out tennis right now and he comes off a demolition of Bulgarian star Grigor Dimitrov on Friday night. Despite never having beaten Dimitrov in any of their previous four meetings, Khachanov comprehensively beat him 6-2 6-3.
He now faces local favourite Ugo Humbert in what promises to be another highly entertaining affair.
Humbert overcame a valiant Jordan Thompson in two sets on Friday evening and the Frenchman showed great heart once again. It was not quite as dramatic as the win in the previous round against Carlos Alcaraz but it had drama nonetheless.
Humbert deserved the win but there was a wobble in the second set when he was broken late in the set and then took some time out for a medical check due to a foot problem. That pause disrupted Thompson’s flow and Humbert broke back immediately and then won a tense tiebreak.
We love how the crowd and Humbert are so in sync and producing the goods together. We do however struggle to see past Khachanov. He is looking somewhat unbeatable at the moment and while fatigue will surely kick in at some stage soon and catch up on him, we cannot go against him even if he will be playing against Humbert and the Parisian crowd.
