THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Ugo Humbert brought a career-high ATP world ranking of 14th into Indian Wells after winning is sixth career title at the Dubai Tennis Championships two week ago and he made it six wins on the spin with an assured opener over Patrick Kypson. The Frenchman has two ATP titles already this season and three from the past five months after claiming his hometown Moselle Open in Metz last November and the Marseille Open early last month.
World number 17 Tommy Paul is also one of a handful of title-winners this season after beating Marcos Giron to the Dallas Open last month and he looked in great shape in a consummate victory over Alex Michelsen in the first round here on Saturday. The 26-year-old will be backed to the hilt as the home hopeful and he can take confidence into the clash after beating Humbert in straight sets at the Cincinnati Masters last summer in their only previous tour-level meeting. Humbert has vastly improved since then, of course, but perennial underdog Paul is well capable of producing one of his peak displays in these conditions to make this a really tough call. Back Humbert to earn at least a set as the likelier of two very capable victors to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: UGO HUMBERT TO WIN A SET
