During the early hours of Monday morning, things start to get serious at the ATP event in the Japanese capital of Tokyo, otherwise known as the Japan Open. In this match, it's semi-final time as Tomas Machac takes on Ugo Humbert, who looking at the early lines, is a strong favorite, though I believe a case can be made for the Czech player. Could we be about to witness a minor upset here?

Tomas Machac - Ugo Humbert Key Points

  1. Tomas Machac has won six of his last seven hard-court matches.
  2. Tomas Machac has already beaten a higher-ranked player (Tommy Paul) on his way to reaching this semi-final.

Our Tomas Machac vs Ugo Humbert Prediction

Sure, Ugo Humbert is strongly fancied by the early market, but I really would not be surprised if the French player come unstuck here. Machac has played some excellent tennis this week, taking very well to the courts in Tokyo. His win against Tommy Paul was a statement victory, one that is hard to ignore. Such a win suggests that he could very easily get the better of a player who has shown complacency in matches of this nature in recent times. At the very least, the Czech player deserves more respect, making him a value bet at the current odds. Our Pick: Tomas Machac to Win.
