THE PREDICTION
World number 34 Ugo Humbert made a big statement at the China Open this week, coming back from a set down to upset fifth seed Andrey Rublev before a three-set defeat to Daniil Medvedev. The 25-year-old set a career-high ATP world ranking of 25th early last year but contracting covid-19 at the Australian Open was the beginning of a severe decline that eventually saw him fall off the tour altogether. Strong work on the Challenger circuit this year has brought him back up to a level more befitting of his talents and it will be fascinating to see what he can do over the next few months. World number 67 Botic van de Zandschulp is enduring his own poor spell this season after setting a career-high of 22nd last summer but there are encouraging signs.
The Dutchman enjoyed playing for his nation at the Davis Cup Group stages last month but there are still clear frailties in his game, with a three-set victory over Christopher O’Connell on Thursday not boding well here. Back Humbert to win their first encounter outright or consider a one-off on this match to need a decider.
