Ugo Humbert vs Alejandro Davidovich Fokina prediction

Davidovich Fokina is the more fancied player of the two. The Spaniard has regularly been reaching deep in the tournaments this year. He can hit really well off either wing, and his movement on the court is also exemplary.

However, Humbert has also gotten a good serve, which he can potentially use against Davidovich Fokina to good effect. Humbert should try to come to the net often enough to shake things up, as he is unlikely to win in a battle of attrition with the Spaniard.

The Frenchman can be a dangerous opponent on his day and can potentially take Saturday's match into three sets. However, he should find it really hard to win the match. Davidovich Fokina should be able to reach the final by winning on Saturday.

Pick: Davidovich Fokina to win in three sets.
