Ugo Humbert vs Lorenzo Sonego: Preview

Ugo Humbert has worked incredibly hard of late and was rewarded his due at the recently concluded 2021 Halle Open, where he emerged champion. He had been stretched to the third-set in all the matches he has played in the Noventi Open until the final. His ability to handle pressure situations has allowed him to beat some top-seeded players in the tournament.

In the final, he beat Russian star Andrey Rublev in straight sets. At the 2021 Wimbledon, he was dispatched in 5 sets by Nick Kyrgios in a match in which the score in the deciding set was 9-7.

Unlike Humbert, Lorenzo Sonego had a torrid time in the sweltering conditions in Tokyo. He struggled immensely against the feisty Japanese Taro Daniel in his first round, where he needed to save a match point to stay in the tournament. But he was beaten by Nikoloz Basilashvili in three sets in the next round.

It has been a fine season for the man from Torino. He sits 17th in the ATP Race and with a mathematical chance of reaching the top eight spots for the ATP Finals.

Ugo Humbert vs Lorenzo Sonego: Head to Head

The pair have never faced off against each other and this will be their first showdown.

Ugo Humbert vs Lorenzo Sonego: Prediction

Humbert should emerge victorious owing to his Olympic experience, where he narrowly missed out on a medal match, losing to eventual runner up Karen Khachanov in the quarter-final and he should have enough left in the tank to edge past Sonego.

Prediction: Humbert to win in straight sets.
