Ugo Humbert v Matteo Berrettini Head to Head
Berrettini has won both their tour level matches, once at the U.S. Open in 2020 and then at the ATP Cup last year. Humbert won a lower level meeting in 2017.

World no. 31 Ugo Humbert has been a regular at the U.S. Open since 2018, but he has made the second round only twice in his last five years.
The left-handed Frenchman brings good form to this year’s tournament. Having done well in Challenger tournaments throughout the season, he reached back-to-back semifinalist in Newport and Atlanta last month.
Humbert also reached the quarterfinals in Washington, only to pull out of the tournament due to an injury.
The 25-year-old, who won the Cagliari and Bordeaux Challengers this year and finished runner-up in the Pau Challenger, made it to the second round in his last two tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati.
Can the three-time tour level champion deliver at the U.S. Open this year? He has an extremely tough opponent waiting in the first round.

Berrettini Is 16-5 at the U.S. Open
World no. 36 Matteo Berrettini has not played a lot of tennis this year, having missed out on tournaments due to an abdominal injury.
The Italian, however, found form at Wimbledon, reaching the fourth round of the tournament, before going down to Carlos Alcaraz. He hasn’t had an ideal beginning to the North American hard court season, reaching only the second round in Toronto and losing the opener in Cincinnati.
However, he will hope to rise again in one of his favourite majors. Berrettini was beaten in the opening round at the U.S. Open on his debut in 2018, but since then he has at least made the round of 16 on each of the next four editions. The Italian was a semifinalist in 2019, made it to the round of 16 in 2020 and finished as quarterfinalist in 2021 and 2022.
The seven-time tour level champion is 11-10 at the tour level this year and has reached just one quarterfinal in Acapulco. He will look to find some momentum in the opener and then build on it.
Humbert v Berrettini Prediction and Tip
Although unseeded, Berretini is the superior player. He has a solid record at the U.S. Open and will be the favourite to advance.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Berretini to win: 1/2 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 38.5 games in the match: 5/6 (with bet365)
