THE PREDICTION

World number 14 Ugo Humbert is far from his most effective on clay but the high altitude in Madrid should favour his game more than slower conditions elsewhere at this time of the season. The 25-year-old reached the quarter-finals at the Monte-Carlo Open to prove he can compete on the surface but a straight-sets defeat to Dusan Lajovic at this stage in Barcelona last week leaves the door open for Botic van de Zandschulp. Former number 22 van de Zandschulp beat Christopher Eubanks in straight sets on Wednesday in a battle between two out-of-form players but his confidence could be boosted after a tough few weeks. A straight-sets defeat to eventual champion at this stage of the Munich Open last week has aged well to suggest the Dutchman is benefitting from a departure from hardcourts but Humbert leads their head-to-head 2-0 at tour level to look the solid favourite. Take the Frenchman to win outright cautiously as we gauge his level in Madrid.

TIP: UGO HUMBERT TO WIN
