Humbert vs Kim. ATP Basel Match Prediction
Humbert and Kim will meet in the first round of the tournament in Basel on October 21. Humbert is having a fantastic season. This year, Hugo won the tournament in Marseille, as well as major competitions in Dubai, which allowed him to break into the top 20 of the world rankings. What will be the start for the Frenchman on the courts of Basel? - the analysis of the upcoming match and bets on it are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Ugo Humbert
FranceCurrent form
After the Masters in Shanghai, Humbert took a short break to have a good rest before the indoor matches in Europe. Let us recall that in Shanghai, everything ended for Hugo in the third round with a defeat to Gael Monfils. This season, the Frenchman has four wins in five matches on indoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Humbert is a typical attacking player who has a strong serve, which is a double problem for opponents, as the Frenchman is also left-handed. His two-handed backhand is one of his main weapons, with which he effectively moves the ball down the line and intensifies rallies. His forehand is less powerful, but still allows him to finish attacks.
Current indicators in the tour
Humbert is currently ranked 16th in the world. This season, the Frenchman added to his trophy collection with victories at tournaments in Marseille and Dubai. Hugo now has six ATP titles won in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Humbert is a semi-finalist at last year competition in Basel.
Jerome Kym
SwitzerlandCurrent form
Kim made it to the main draw of the tournament in Basel through the qualification. In the selection, he beat Arthur Rinderknech and Henry Burnett. The Swiss has six wins and three losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Kim is a tall player with a powerful serve, which was especially evident in the Basel qualifying round, where he beat the burly Rinderknech. However, other than his serve, it is difficult to point out any other strengths in the 21-year-old Swiss’s game. His forehand and backhand are not strong enough to pose a serious threat to players in the top 20 of the world rankings.
Current indicators in the tour
Kim is currently ranked outside the top 100 in the world rankings, at 140th place. This season, the Swiss has won four trophies - two futures and two clay court challengers, which took place in Prostejov and Zug.
Interesting facts for betting
Kim has suffered only two losses in his last ten matches.
