UGO HUMBERT VS MARCOS GIRON PREDICTION
Ugo Humbert came through a tough first-round match against Brandon Nakashima where he really had to dig deep. The Frenchman won the first set but was pegged back by Nakashima who won the second and had momentum on his side. Humbert was buoyed by the crowd and dug deep to win the third set to progress.
He now meets Marco Giron who he has met three times and won on all three occasions. One of those came exactly a year ago in this tournament in the first round. Humbert won 6-4 6-3 and he will be looking for a similar outcome here.
Giron is playing well right now and has some form behind him. He has come through two rounds of qualifiers and a first-round match against Juncheng Shang who he beat 7-6 7-6. He will want push Humbert all the way here and really put him under some pressure.
We think Humbert will be better equipped for this one than he was for his first-round match. He knows Giron well and the 15th seed will have taken plenty from that opening match to serve him well here. We expect a more comfortable victory for Humbert.
