Matteo Berrettini Faces Ugo Humbert in Round of 16 at Stockholm Open

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Matteo Berrettini, currently ranked No. 61 in the world, faces off against No. 25 Ugo Humbert in the Round of 16 at the Stockholm Open on Thursday. The match is set to start at 11:10 AM ET.

Berrettini comes into this match as a slight favorite with betting odds of -118 against Humbert, who is the underdog with odds of -110. According to the latest moneyline, Humbert has a 54.1% implied probability of winning, while Berrettini is projected to win approximately 51% of the time based on simulations.

Humbert, who recently lost to Holger Rune at the Shanghai Masters, hopes to capitalize on his powerful indoor game. He has had a challenging season due to injuries but previously found success on indoor courts, including winning the title in Marseille.

Conversely, Berrettini is looking to build momentum after securing a dominant straight-sets victory against Giulio Zeppieri in the opening round, where he won 79% of his first serve points. Despite his injury struggles this year, he leads their head-to-head 3-0, having never dropped a set to Humbert.

This match is highly anticipated, as both players have distinct fighting styles. Humbert’s left-handed serve is expected to pose challenges for Berrettini at key moments during the match, introducing an element of unpredictability.
