Alexander Zverev had to struggle at the start in Halle: The two-time finalist (2016, 2017) needed three sentences against compatriot Dominik Koepfer , who had recently given Roger Federer a lot of resistance at the French Open.
Of course, Zverev wants to play for the title in Halle, he was already in the finals twice, in 2016 he surprisingly lost to Florian Mayer, in 2017, not so surprisingly, to the record champion Federer.
Zverev now for the first time against Ugo Humbert
On Thursday, the betway Match of the Day is against Ugo Humbert. The Frenchman has slowly but steadily made his way up the ATP world rankings in recent years, with 31st place he is only two places behind his best performance. In 2020 he celebrated his first two titles on the ATP tour, in Auckland and Antwerp.
Humbert has proven in recent times that he can play on grass, specifically in 2019, when he played ATP tournaments on grass for the first time: a round of 16 in Wimbledon 2019 (defeat against Novak Djokovic) are on the success slip as well as a semi-final in Newport .
Humbert is also currently in shape: last week in Stuttgart he celebrated victories over Marton Fucosics and Yannick Hanfmann and was only defeated by the later finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime almost two times in the tie-break.
It is the first duel between Zverev and Humbert.
