At the Australian Open on Friday morning, very early indeed if you're situated in America, there's an all French affair, as Ugo Humbert and Arthur Fils do battle, and not for the first time in recent months. Back in October, Fils got the better of his compatriot and will now be looking to do so again. Both players have made relatively light work of reaching this stage, with both winning their first and second round matches withouth really having to shift fully through the gears. Humbert has been installed as quite a warm favorite in the early betting, but is this right? For my money, not quite.

Our Ugo Humbert vs Arthur Fils Prediction

This is very much an intriguing match, make no mistake about that. We're talking about two very good players, players who are separated by just seven places in the ATP rankings, so it could go either way, and I won't pretend otherwise. However, given that he beat Humbert when the pair met under pressure in the final of the ATP Tokyo event not that long ago, should Fils be priced at +140? I really do think he deserves a bit more respect. After all, having beaten better opposition that Humbert to reach this stage, he could be best placed for success here. Our Pick: Arthur Fils to Win.
