UGO HUMBERT VS CARLOS ALCARAZ PREDICTION

French favourite Ugo Humbert was particularly convincing in his second round when over Marcos Giron on Wednesday. He won 6-3 6-2 and dominated in all areas of the match. After a battling win in the first round over Brandon Nakashima, this was far more comprehensive and he thoroughly deserved the win.

That performance will give the Frenchman a nice boost in confidence before this incredibly tough round of 16 match with Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz beat Nicolas Jarry on Tuesday 7-5 6-1 and while he was not at his best, he simply had far too much quality for the Chilean.

Alcaraz will be aware that there is no Jannik Sinner in Paris this week due to illness, and he will fancy his chances of beating the Frenchman here. The Mallorcan superstar Has beaten Humbert in both previous meetings which are both come this year. Alcaraz won at Wimbledon in four sets and then followed that up in the Davis Cup with a straight-sets victory.

Despite the home support being firmly on the side of Humbert, Alcaraz should get the win here and move into the quarter-finals.
