It doesn't get any easier in the Shanghai Masters for unseeded Jordan Thompson. After a tough opener, the Australian now faces 21st seed Ugo Humbert in round two of this outdoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.

Next for the winner of this match will be either tenth seed Holger Rune or unseeded Sebastian Baez.

Thompson met qualifier August Holmgren in round one and had to come from a set down to get the victory. That win has taken him to 80th in the live rankings. Six of his last seven matches had been lost before that win. The 31-year-old has a 7-9 record on this surface in 2025.

Ugo Humbert is 1-1 in previous meetings with Thompson. Both were played on hard courts with Humbert winning the most recent one in Paris last year. The Frenchman is 25th in the live list and is also struggling for form.

He's lost five of his last six matches, including the last three played on hard courts. He needs to find the form that won him the Marseille indoor hard court tournament in February. Only four times this year has he made it past round two of a hard court tournament.

We tip Humbert to get the win here.
