Command Analysis

Ugo Humbert

Current form
Humbert had 20 wins and 11 losses on open hard last season. He showed his best result on this surface at the tournament in Dubai. He won those competitions, in the final of which he beat Alexander Bublik.
Professional qualities
Humbert is a left-hander with a versatile arsenal of shots, including a two-handed backhand and forehand, which he uses with equal effectiveness. The Frenchman stands out with his powerful serve, which allows him to quickly seize the initiative and finish rallies with winners from the half-court. In addition, he is strong in drive-volleys. However, weak defensive skills, a high injury rate and a lack of significant results on clay limit his progress in the rankings.
Current indicators in the tour
In addition to winning the tournament in Dubai, Humbert also won the indoor competition in Marseille last season. The Frenchman now has six ATP trophies to his name in his career. In the world rankings, Hugo is ranked 14th.

Professional qualities
Stricker has a good serve, which on his best days allows him to consistently win a lot of rallies on the first ball.
