Matteo Berrettini vs Ugo Humbert: Betting on an Outsider

The upcoming match is of great tournament importance for the French national team and the Italian one. In case of defeat, the French or Italians may drop out of the ATP because there will be no chance of continuing the fight for the title. As for the confrontation of both sides tops, the bookmakers are on the side of the Italian.

For Matteo, the ATP Cup started with a defeat from De Minaur, which significantly complicated the life of his national team. Berrettini cannot lose this time. Otherwise, Italy risks being eliminated from the rally way too early, and the match against Russia will become a training session with increased responsibility. The fight against De Minaur lasted almost an hour and a half. Matteo fired six times with one double mistake. Note that Berrettini had a bad second serve. He could have played better at the reception, winning only 23% of the opponent's serve points.

Hugo impressed us in the ATP Cup first round, beating Daniil Medvedev in three sets. Moreover, during the match, Daniil led the score, and in the third set, the guys played a tie-break, won by Hugo with a score of 7:2. The fight lasted three hours, and Medvedev had cramps. Despite Humbert's victory, the Russians beat the Frenchmen in matchplay, so France must not lose tomorrow. During the match against Medvedev, Humbert fired only once with two double faults, won 61% of points on his first serve and 64% on his second serve.

After defeating Medvedev, we will not be surprised if Umber gives a battle to Berrettini. Moreover, Matteo did not perform well in the first round. In 2020, Umber lost to Berrettini at the US Open. However, three years before that, he beat the Italian at a tournament in Brest. Betting on an outsider, we also offer these betting options:
