The 2026 tennis season really is starting to wind up now, with the action coming thick and fast down under. In Adelaide, early on Thursday morning for US viewers, Ugo Humbert and Alexander Shevchenko will battle it out for a place in the semi-finals of the Adelaide International. A previous winner of the ATP event in Auckland, Ugo Humbert is no stranger to playing very well in this part of the world. Up against a lower-ranked player here, the 27-year-old, who has five ATP hard-court tournament wins to his name, really should fancy himself to progress without coming under too much pressure, especially after securing two straight-set wins already.
Humbert's Kazakhstani opponent may not be so confident. Sure, Shevchenko has so far played well in Adelaide, delivering some decent performances to beat players such as Dzumhur and Fucsovics, but it looks like he'll need to raise his game quite a bit to make any serious headway here. Can the 25-year-old, who has never won at ATP event, do that? I doubt it.

Our Ugo Humbert vs Alexander Shevchenko Prediction
Quite simply, Ugo Humbert has been handed a gilt-edged opportunity to reach the semi-finals of this event, and it's worth betting that the French player can grab that opportunity with both hands, winning in straight sets. Ranked much higher than his opponent, there's a gap in quality between these two and that should be quickly evident on the court, though I'm not sure that this gap is being accurately reflected by the early betting, so take the value that a price of -120 provides.
After beating both Atmane and Griekspoor in straight sets in Adelaide already, Humbert looks all set to reach the final four. After all, he's got form in this part of the world, previously winning the ATP event in Auckland.
Our Ugo Humbert vs Alexander Shevchenko Pick: Ugo Humbert to Win 2-0.
