LiontipsHumbert vs Zverev. Australian Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Humbert advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open after Arthur Fils retired from the match at 6-4, 5-7, 4-6, 0-1. In 2 hours and 35 minutes of play, Hugo hit three aces, converted five break points and lost three games on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the Frenchman beat Khadi Habib and Manuel Gigante.
Professional qualities
Humbert is a typical fast-court player, especially comfortable in indoor tournaments. The French left-hander has an unpleasant serve that makes life difficult for his opponents. He also has a high level of movement around the court. His forehand with powerful topspin is his main weapon in rallies. However, his lack of psychological stability often prevents him from demonstrating his best qualities at decisive moments in matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Humbert is ranked 14th in the world. During his career, the Frenchman has won 19 trophies, six of which are ATP categories. Last season, Hugo played successfully at the indoor tournament in Marseille and at the competition in Dubai, which took place on outdoor hard courts.
Interesting facts for betting
Humbert has lost his last six matches against German players.
Current form
Zverev beat Jacob Fearnley (6-3, 6-4, 6-4) in the third round of the Australian Open. Alexander served seven aces, converted five break points and lost two games on his serve. Earlier in the tournament, the German representative beat Pedro Martinez and Luc Pouille.
Professional qualities
Zverev is a shining example of an aggressive style of play. He has a powerful serve and a strong forehand, which is especially effective diagonally. Despite his height, the German tennis player is surprisingly fast and confident on the baseline, easily switching from attacking to defensive actions. He also consistently plays long rallies and stands out for his quality return of serve. However, despite his noticeable progress, problems with psychological stability, especially in the finals of major tournaments, remain his weak point.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Zverev won two trophies - he won the clay court title in Rome and the indoor Masters in Paris. He now has 25 titles, 23 of which are ATP titles. Alexander is currently in second place in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Zverev has won 24 of his last 26 matches against the French.
