My Prediction
Humbert in 3 sets.
Well, what do we have here, folks? This feels like the start of a long, dreary opera - tragic and French. Meet Corentin Moutet and Ugo Humbert. Now, Moutet hasn't been in the best form lately, his racket is not singing the sweetest tunes. Three losses in his last five, the poor lad might be struggling with more than just the weather in Roma. He does enter unseeded, having an uphill battle right from the get-go. But don't you fret, he has the potential to jete his way to a surprise win once in a while. Remember the Goffin game?
Now, let's meet our second Frenchman for the night - Humbert. He's struggling too, there's no denying it. But he's the 21st seed, making him the ballet slipper that fits this game better. His serve is like a well-timed plié - it's got grace, it's got power, and on a good day, it's just unfathomable to return. He even has better odds, but woops, we aren't supposed to mention that, are we? Ah, nevermind.
Now, I'm not a fortune teller, but given the jigsaw puzzle we have - Humbert's better seeding, odd favorites, coupled with a kind-of-maybe-could-be-better-form, I'd put my imaginary thousand lira on Ugo Humbert. Opera-schmopera, this is tennis, baby.
Albert's Prediction: Humbert in 3 sets.
