THE PREDICTION

World number 34 Alex de Minaur faces number 35 Ugo Humbert in what should be a fascinating battle between two players far better than their current rankings. Both players have claimed the best wins of their careers this week, with 23-year-old Humbert earning a stunning comeback victory over world number two Daniil Medvedev and 22-year-old De Minaur ousting world number seven Matteo Berrettini in straight sets. Both then promptly lost to each other’s spoils, leaving France and Australia playing for pride alone now in this last round robin in Group B. The Sydney crowd will give its native son an edge here in what promises to be a thrilling contest too tight to call with confidence. Humbert won his first ATP title at the hands of De Minaur back in the European Open final in 2020 but it could be worth taking this rematch to see three sets and leaving a winner up to chance.
