Humbert comes in ranked 33 with an Elo of 1467.45 and a form index of 33.98; his mean serve index (77.18) is solid and fatigue is minimal (0.0 minutes on court this event). Van de Zandschulp is ranked 75 with a lower Elo (889.07) but a higher form index (62.30) and likewise no tournament fatigue. Surface strength indices are comparable and low for both (Humbert 10.96, van de Zandschulp 9.27), indicating neither has a distinct hard-court edge from that metric. There is a large gap in serve and return metrics: van de Zandschulp’s mean serve index (97.57) is markedly higher than Humbert’s, and his mean return index (96.31) far outstrips Humbert’s 45.31 — both differences exceed 5 points and are likely to shape patterns of pressure on serve and opportunities on return. Recent form shows Humbert with a win over Alejandro Davidovich Fokina but back-to-back defeats to Tomas Machac and Ben Shelton; match durations in those events were long. Van de Zandschulp arrived with two wins at the Australian Open (Brandon Nakashima, Juncheng Shang) before a loss to Novak Djokovic, indicating regained rhythm despite the top-end loss.
