Prediction published on 02/08/2023, 01:55  by Daniel Ngulu in Tennis Predictions

Unseeded Thanasi Kokkinakis and 13th seed Ugo Humbert will on Wednesday lock horns in the 2023 Washington Open. This will be in the second-round, with the winner playing either third-seed Felix Auger-Aliassime or unseeded Yosuke Watanuki thereafter. Ugo Humbert arrived in Washington after his semifinal finish in Atlanta. He won three matches at the event and will hope to carry that momentum here. The Frenchman has posted a 28-18 record so far this season with eight of those victories coming on hard court. He has made it to three challenger finals so far this season, winning twice but none has come on hard court. Humbert is currently ranked 34th in the live ranking.

Thanasi Kokkinakis is further down in the live ranking and comes in at number 84. This is a two-place leap after his opening-round victory. The Australian battled for two hours and 39 minutes to defeat Taro Daniel in a come-from-behind victory. This was his 28th win of the season and 20th on hard court. Kokkinakis is making his debut in Washington. He will count on his form on hard court to have a prolonged stay here. Thus far, he has managed one title, which was in Manama in the Challenger circuit. Before arriving in Washington, Kokkinakis had taken part in Atlanta but was eliminated in the first round.
