🇫🇷 Humbert · 1.65 | 0.65u

🇫🇷 Over 10.5 games S1 Humbert vs Halys · 2.75 | 0.25u

• I feel like trusting Ugo today. The Frenchman seems to be gradually regaining a very good level of play in recent weeks, and even though his quarter-final in Hamburg ended in a loss against Ignacio Busta, I really liked the content of the match.

• We found a much more aggressive Humbert, cleaner behind his serve and above all capable of quickly taking control of the rallies as soon as he advances on the court.

• And above all, the current conditions in Paris should clearly benefit him.

• With this heat and sun, the courts are playing much faster than usual, which greatly favors his offensive tennis and the quality of his first serve.

• I see him perfectly capable of taking advantage of these conditions to impose his pace and make the French tennis hierarchy respected in this duel.

• Obviously, there is still one point that can be worrying: the physical aspect.

• We know that Humbert has sometimes struggled with the best-of-5 format, even more so when the temperatures become very high.

• But honestly, what reassures me today is that Quentin Halys is not necessarily a reference either in this area.

• And in a potentially long battle under this heat, I still think Ugo has more solutions in his game.

• Because yes, Halys remains a huge test. His serve +1 is extremely clean in these fast conditions, he gets a lot of free points and can quickly catch fire behind his first serve.

• This is precisely why I really like the over 10.5 games in the first set.

I expect a very tight start: few break opportunities, a lot of quick games behind the serves and probably a set that could easily go to a tie-break.

• But over the entire match, I still tend to see Humbert as better equipped tennis-wise to make the difference.

• He has more variety, a better ability to defend when under pressure and above all more solutions when the rallies start to get a bit longer.
