Ugo Humbert
Humbert is having a powerful season, as at the start he won the ATP debut tournament, which made his debut in the top 50. But due to his young age and lack of experience, the French representative is extremely unstable and there are regular matches when he enters the court and can not bring himself to fight. On the court, Hugo is straightforward, because the Frenchman always wants to own the initiative in lotteries. To have this advantage, Humbert sharpens with each shot. On a regular basis, the tennis player runs to the net, but if the mixture scores with his eyes closed, the balls that fly to his feet are not able to process.
Humbert didn’t start this tournament very well. In the first round he had a meeting with the 347th racket of the world ranking Stefan Kozlov. He passed the American, but it was hard to win (6-7, 6-3, 6-1). It seems that it was just a shoot to cover the courts, as in the next two games Ugo played much better. At first he defeated the uncomfortable Miomir Kecmanovic (6-4, 7-6), and then he coped with Frances Tiafoe (6-1, 6-2).
It should be noted that last week Umber took part in a tournament in NYC. At that time he left the tournament at the ¼ final stage, losing to Kechmanovic himself.
Yoshihito Nishioka
There is no doubt that Nishioka is an incredibly talented tennis player who has recently started to open up rapidly. That’s just a representative to add in many game aspects to swing at high positions in the ranking or stay the same. It’s a matter of dependence solely on hard and pitching. After all, Yoshihito is able to successfully compete only on the hard, when he comes to the grass or ground, then flies in the first circles. Nishioka doesn’t know how to serve at all and introduces the first ball into the court too simply, so the attacking players immediately attack and gain an advantage in draws.
Nishioka also had trouble reaching the semifinals. But his opponents weren’t as strong as Humbert’s. The only serious opponent was John Millman, whom the Japanese beat in three games (3-6, 6-4, 6-2). After that, Nishioka had a victoriy on the score against Noah Rubin (6-1, 6-2) and Brandon Nakashima (3-6, 7-6, 6-4).
Like Humbert, Yoshihito played a tournament in New York City. But the Japanese left those tournaments in the second round. That’s when he lost to Reilly Opelka.

Humbert vs Nishioka Predictions
Humbert literally crushed Tiafoe. After all, the French not only served powerfully, but also without a chance for the opponent to win the whole back line. Ugo will have a huge advantage in the attacking potential and can easily win their games by a cannon service. Nishioka has nothing like that, so he will lose this match.
- Our prediction: Humbert Will Win.
