Davidovich Fokina, Alejandro - Humbert, Ugo

Montpellier ATP hard

The 5th racket of the tournament, Spaniard Fokina 32 ATP meets the local WC Humbert 85 ATP.

In 2021, Fokina already beat the Frenchman on clay 6-4 6-4, but here it is the Frenchman who is classified as the favorite. Fokina knows how to play on hard court and this season she beat Nakashima and Millman and Bublik on hard court as well and even played 5 sets against Paul. Hard may not be the best surface for the Spaniard, but it definitely deserves to be at least 50/50. The Frenchman has not done anything this season, apart from the OA tournament and the Davis cup, and the question is whose form is even better. The Spaniard is clearly a more capable tennis player and would be a clear favorite on clay, but here it is hard, but the Spaniard still looks much better, and seeing such a record and the fact that more than one Frenchman who would have been the favorite has fallen in this tournament, I choose the Spaniard
