Match Analysis

Ugo Humbert currently holds a rank of 24, which is significantly higher than Jordan Thompson’s rank of 78. Despite this ranking disparity, Humbert's form index sits at 15.63, indicating recent struggles, whereas Thompson's form index of 40.63 suggests he has been in better shape recently. From an Elo rating perspective, Humbert leads with 1450, compared to Thompson's 1258. However, fatigue may play a role; Thompson has accumulated 128 minutes of court time in this tournament, whereas Humbert has none. On the surface strength index, Humbert scores 14.97, slightly ahead of Thompson's 13.05, but the difference is marginal. In their recent performances, Humbert has faced challenges, losing all three of his last matches, including a straight-sets defeat to Jenson Brooksby in Tokyo. Thompson, on the other hand, managed to secure a victory against August Holmgren in Shanghai, demonstrating a more favorable trajectory. This contrast in form could significantly influence their upcoming match.

Final Prediction

Jordan Thompson's recent victory and superior form index give him a slight edge over Ugo Humbert, despite the latter's higher ranking and Elo rating. A critical factor to monitor will be Thompson's ability to manage his fatigue against Humbert, who has yet to exert himself in this tournament.
