Our pick: Murray A. – Humbert U.: Humbert U. -2,5 games

28.02.2024 13:00

Andy Murray is trying to fight against time, but it’s getting harder and harder. That’s what he said during the Dubai tournament, which he entered with a three-set win over Denis Shapovalov. He himself admitted that it is probably a matter of months before he has to quit tennis, even though his heart tells him to keep fighting.

However, even considering all he has been through, he has no problem looking reality in the face. He has won only three matches this season and lost six. In the eighth round in Dubai, he will face twenty-five-year-old Frenchman Hugo Humbert, who has a very good match record of 9-3 and an indoor title in Marseille.

Three years ago, Murray managed to beat Humbert twice, but the two tennis players have not met since. And as time has passed, the French youngster has become a more than decent tennis player and current world No. 18, while Murray has transformed into a veteran who is in the twilight of his career.

What to bet on:

Ugo Humbert is the favorite for the first time in his career against Andy Murray. The match could be more even, maybe even stretch to three sets, but in the end Humbert will have the upper hand in the final count. A slight handicap can be recommended.

Confidence:

7/10
