Command Analysis

Ugo Humbert

Current form
Humbert played only two matches before the Australian Open. He played them at the United Cup team competition. In the group, Hugo beat Dominik Stricker, but then lost to Flavio Cobolli. Last season, the Frenchman had 20 wins on open hard courts and 11 losses.
Professional qualities
Humbert is a tennis player with a pronounced attacking style, whose main weapon is a powerful serve, which brings him many easy points. On the baseline, he actively uses a two-handed backhand, skillfully directing blows even in difficult situations. On the return, the Frenchman prefers an aggressive game, although sometimes he lacks stability. Hugo feels confident at the net and effectively uses sliced strokes and drop shots. However, his weak point remains problems with injuries, which affect his physical endurance.
Current indicators in the tour
Humbert is the 14th racket in the world. During his career, the French tennis player has won 19 trophies, two of which he won last season. Hugo managed to win back successfully at an indoor tournament in Marseille, in the final of which he beat Grigor Dimitrov. And a little later, Humbert won the competition in Dubai, where in the decisive match he broke the resistance of Alexander Bublik.
Interesting facts for betting
Humbert managed to reach the third round on the Melbourne courts last season.

Matteo Gigante

Current form
Gigante made it to the main draw of the Australian Open through the qualifiers. In the qualifiers, Matteo won all his matches in two sets - he beat Nick Hardt, Lukas Neumaier and Henrique Rocha. Last season, the Italian had 27 wins and ten losses on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Gigante, like many left-handers, is dangerous when serving to the second square, which brings him many important points. The Italian confidently performs this element and relies on a powerful forehand, complementing it with good speed of movement around the court. However, the return remains Matteo weak point, and the lack of experience in matches with top opponents prevents him from showing stable results at a high level.
Current indicators in the tour
Gigante is the 146th ranked player in the world. The 23-year-old Italian has won five trophies in his career. He won two of them last season. On outdoor hard courts, Matteo won the challengers in Nonthaburi and Tenerife.
