Each of the past three years have seen 32nd seed Ugo Humbert reach the third round at Indian Wells. If that's going to become four, he must defeat unseeded Alex Michelsen in round two of the BNP Paribas Open. Read our match prediction below.
Round three of this Sunshine Swing Masters tournament will see the winner up against either seventh seed Taylor Fritz or unseeded Jacob Fearnley. Humbert will be hoping he's the one that progresses from this match.
The Frenchman is yet to get past round three here but has had some good results this year. His best performance came down under in Adelaide where he was the runner-up in their outdoor hard court tournament. An indoors semi-final in Rotterdam has also been reached.
He leads Michelsen 1-0 in previous meetings. That was a straight sets win on this surface in 2024.
Alex Michelsen is 42nd in the live rankings, eight places below his opponent. The American has won six of his ten outdoor hard court matches this year. His best run was a last four appearance in Brisbane but he's not made it past round two of a tournament since then.
Round one saw him beat Daniel Merida Aguilar in straight sets.
We tip Humbert to win.
