Ugo Humbert v Arthur Fils Head to Head
Over their five meetings across all levels, Humbert has beaten Fils four times. The only time Fils won was in their last meeting which took place in Tokyo last year.
Incidentally there were two other meetings in 2024 – at the Rosmalen Open and Canadian Open – and both were won by Humbert.
Humbert Crushes Habib
Hady Habib had made all the headlines by becoming the first player from Lebanon to win a Grand Slam main draw match. Unfortunately for him, his campaign was quickly ended by Ugo Humbert who needed an hour and 44 minutes to get past him.
Humbert won 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 as he upped his first serve winning points to 86% while grabbing 72% of his second serves as well. As a result of that, Humbert did not face a single break-point in the encounter while getting 10 opportunities to get the better of his opponent’s serve.
He broke Habib once in each of the three sets. This follows Humbert’s opening round, straight-set win over Manuel Gigante.
Fellow Frenchman Arthur Fils, however, will be a different kettle of fish.
Fils Comes Through against Fighting Halys
In an all-French battle, Arthur Fils was able to thwart the fighting capabilities of the experienced Quentin Halys and march into the third round for the first time at the Australian Open.
Fils, who had earlier been taken to four sets by Otto Virtanen as well, was on court for over two and a half hours before he won 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-5 in a match that could have turned against him.
In the third set, for example, Fils faced two early break-points but managed to save both before winning the set in a tie-breaker. This was followed by the fourth in which Halys gave no signs of getting his serve broke till the very end.
Fortunately for Fils, he was able to outlast Halys and in turn booked a spot in the third round for this delicious all-French battle again.
Humbert v Fils Prediction
There’s not much separating these two despite what the odds might say – Humbert at 7/10 looks underpriced. In fact at 13/10, Fils looks like a tempting option to bet on.
