Ugo Humbert v Nick Kyrgios Head to Head
The head-to-head is currently tied at 1-1.
Humbert won their first match in Acapulco after Kyrgios was forced to retire due to injury, but it was the Aussie who had the last laugh in their most recent meeting Down Under in February. Kyrgios won a tense five-setter in which he saved two match points in front of his home crowd.

Humbert Claimed Halle Title in Germany
The Noventi Open is always the centre of attention after the conclusion of the French Open and before Wimbledon starts. As is the case in years gone by, Roger Federer tends to be the talk of the town in Halle.
But there was a sense of vulnerability in the Swiss’ game, and following his earliest exit at the event, Ugo Humbert had everyone’s number for the remainder of the tournament.
In fairness, Humbert had endured a slump in the early part of the season in which he failed to hit double-digit match wins. But strangely enough, a change of surface completely changed the trajectory of his season, and possibly his career.
He was unbeatable in Halle, overcoming a crop of experienced and grasscourt campaigners to win the ATP 500 tournament – the biggest he had won at this level. Victories over Sam Querrey, Alexander Zverev, Sebastian Korda, Auger-Aliassime and Andrey Rublev propelled him back to his career-high ranking of World No. 25.
The 23-year-old Frenchman pulled out in the second round of Mallorca, likely as a precaution with Wimbledon just a few days away.

Kyrgios Makes Long-Awaited Return to Tennis
For the first time this year, Nick Kyrgios has left Australia and joined the rest of the players on tour. His participation at Wimbledon will also mark the third tournament he will play this season and the first since reaching the third round of the Australian Open in February.
Kyrgios admitted, he does not expect to play his best tennis at SW19 due to his lack of preparation, but he still believes he can beat half of the players in the draw.
The mercurial Aussie has never been one to shy from the media spotlight, although he did not place Humbert among the 50% of those players he would beat on current form. The World No. 61 did not play any grass-court warmup events due to a neck problem, but he is past any injury issues.
Kyrgios who reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon on his debut in 2014, will team up with seven-time women’s Grand Slam champion Venus Williams in Mixed Doubles.
Humbert v Kyrgios Prediction and Tip
Kyrgios is a former top 15 player and remains a tough opposition on grass regardless of his headspace. But Humbert is in imperious form right now and should hold all the cards in what we reckon will be another thriller.
