Hugo Umber and Marcos Chiron will face off on the court in Paris, and both tennis players have their advantages. Umber has had a decent season, performing well in some matches. He also defeated Chiron last week, which increases the likelihood of his victory. Additionally, Umber will be playing on his home turf, which will give him extra motivation and support from fans. On the other hand, Chiron has the ability to unexpectedly play at a high level. Although his season has been inconsistent, he can showcase his best skills in the match against Umber. If Chiron can quickly find his game and handle the pressure, he will have a good chance of success. However, considering that Umber already defeated Chiron a week ago and is currently playing at a home tournament, there is a high probability that he will be able to triumph over the American once again. His powerful shot and court movement can be key factors in this matchup. Therefore, my forecast is that Hugo Umber will win the encounter against Marcos Chiron, based on his more stable form, previous victories, and the advantage of playing at home.
In the recent match between Humbert and Hurkacz in Basel last week, Humbert emerged as the winner in a tiebreak. However, judging from their recent matches and performances, Hurkacz has been showing more confident and high-quality gameplay. In the previous match, Humbert was only able to win in a decisive tiebreak, indicating that his current level of play may not be at its best. On the other hand, Hurkacz has already had two successful matches in this tournament in France, which could give him an additional psychological boost. Taking this into account, and considering Hurkacz's desire for revenge, I lean towards giving preference to the American in the upcoming match. His game looks more confident and stable, and he will be determined to claim his revenge victory. In the end, I expect Hurkacz to be able to secure a win in this match.
A battle is predicted between Hugo Umbert and Marcos Giron, and although the Frenchman's chances of repeating his victory are high enough, can we expect an easy win, like last time in Basel? Most likely, no. Despite the support of the local crowd, which should seemingly help Giron, the American will put up a worthy resistance. Recently, Hugo has faced difficulties in matches against players from the top 100, while Marcos shows a game level corresponding to the top 30. In light of these factors, it is worth paying attention to Giron's handicap in games. Overall, a forecast can be made for Giron to win with a game handicap (+3.5).
In the 1/32 finals of the Men's Tennis Tournament in Paris, Hugo Umbert and Marcos Hiron will meet. Both players are in excellent form, but Umbert slightly dominates with his game. He becomes a tough opponent for any player and in 8 out of the last 10 matches, he played in 3 sets, almost always winning at least one set. On the other hand, Hiron has a strong start to the game and possesses a dangerous serve that can dominate today. They have previously met in Basel, where Umbert won in three sets. My prediction for this match will be Over Total, and it is justified by the fact that both players are strong and it's possible they will play in 3 sets, as they have in previous encounters. The prediction can be made using the main arguments from the text, namely Umbert's tough game for opponents and his ability to win sets, as well as Hiron's confidence in his serve, which can lead to dominance on his serve.
