Wimbledon 2021: Ugo Humbert vs. Nick Kyrgios 6/29/21 Tennis Prediction

Ugo Humbert will face Nick Kyrgios in the First Round of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships. The match is scheduled to take place on Tuesday June 29th, 2021.

A thrilling match is awaiting us at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships as Ugo Humbert of France faces Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the First Round. The last time these two players met they had a thrilling five setter at the Australian Open, with Kyrgios eventually getting the close win. The Aussie hasn’t played much tennis this year and Humbert is in fine form at the moment. Who will win and advance to the Second Round?

Ugo Humbert is currently ranked a career high #25 in the world and is currently in fantastic form, claiming the title in Halle. The Frenchman is one of the most promising young players in world tennis and is incredibly talented. His movement and court awareness are already outstanding on this surface and he will only get better and better. While he is the favorite here, he will know how talented his opponent Nick Kyrgios is, and will not underestimate him. His defence will have to be at a very high level to sustain the powerful barrage that the Aussie is bound to throw at him, and his patience will be key here.

Nick Kyrgios is one of the most popular players in the world and is making his long-awaited return to the ATP Tour. Once ranked in the top 15, he finds himself outside the top 60 due to his recent inactivity, and we hope that he will add more tournaments to his upcoming schedule. While he is one of the most talented players in the world, he is also one of the most unpredictable and it is almost impossible to know what he will do at any given moment. He is capable of defeating anyone in the world at any time, but he is just as likely to show no effort or to lose to a much inferior player. The Aussie has shown signs of improved maturity lately, and if he plays well and is fully focused he is more than capable of getting the win here.

This is going to be a blockbuster match, and is probably the best matchup of the First Round here at Wimbledon. I expect this to go the distance, and I am giving the edge to Ugo Humbert. Nick Kyrgios may not be fully fit after his long break from the tour, and I am not sure that he will have much left in the tank if the match is a long one. The Frenchman was impressive during his run to the title in Halle, and his confidence will be at an all time high. It will be very close, but the smart pick is Ugo Humbert to get the win.
