Ugo Humbert and Adrian Mannarino will be squaring off for the fourth time in their careers when they meet again in round two of the Open Occitanie on Wednesday. Mannarino leads the head-to-head series 2-1, but they have not faced each other since 2023.
Now 37 years old, Mannarino is slowing down. The lefty compiled a modest 13-15 record on the main tour in 2025 and was 0-3 this season before beating Pedro Martinez on Monday.
Humbert, on the other hand, is in fine form. The world No. 38 was the Adelaide runner-up a few weeks ago and he looked great in a straight-set defeat of Botic van de Zandschulp on Tuesday. That is nothing new for Humbert at home in France on an indoor hard court. This is always where he plays his best tennis.
Pick: Humbert in 2
