Ugo Humbert vs Alex Michelsen prediction

Alex Michelsen was rock solid as he secured a comfortable win over Daniel Merida Aguilar in the first round.

The American posted a 6-3 6-4 victory over the Spanish qualifier and will now face Ugo Humbert for a second time.

The Frenchman won their previous meeting in Brisbane 6-4 6-4 two years ago and arrives here looking to kick-on after underwhelming displays in Doha and Dubai.

The 32nd seed did reach the last four in Rotterdam recently and generally prefers a hardcourt. These slower conditions may actually help the underdog here and we think Michelsen is very capable of earning a set, if not the shock win.

Ugo Humbert vs Alex Michelsen tip: Over 2.5 sets
