Jordan Thompson vs Ugo Humbert Head-to-Head, Preview, Stats & Pick:

Head To Head Thompson Leads 1-0.

In a thrilling matchup at the Brisbane International, Australian tennis star Jordan Thompson will face off against French player Ugo Humbert. Thompson holds a 1-0 lead in their head-to-head meetings, with their previous encounter taking place at the ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati, where Thompson emerged victorious after a grueling battle that lasted three sets.

Thompson, currently ranked as the world number 28, achieved his career-high ranking in September 2024. He made a significant breakthrough earlier that year by winning his first ATP Tour title in Los Cabos at the age of 29. This achievement is even more remarkable as Thompson became the first player since Kyrgios in 2022 to win both the singles and doubles titles at the same event.

The Australian player made his mark in 2019 when he broke into the top 50 rankings. This breakthrough came after he reached his first semifinal and final on the ATP Tour at the ‘s-Hertogenbosch tournament. Thompson continued his success in the following year, reaching the fourth round of a Grand Slam event for the first time at the US Open. He also reached the fourth round of an ATP Masters 1000 event for the first time in Miami in 2019.

Throughout his career, Thompson has had notable victories over top-ranked players. He clinched a stunning victory over world number 1 and five-time champion Andy Murray at the 2017 London/Queen’s Club tournament. This win marked the first time an Australian had defeated Murray in 21 attempts. Thompson also claimed a victory over the number 3 ranked Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2023 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells.

In 2018, though Thompson struggled on the ATP Tour with a 1-11 record, he found success on the ATP Challenger Tour, earning himself a 52-17 record. His impressive performance on the Challenger Tour included reaching five finals, making him the second player with the most Challenger wins in a single season since Berlocq in 2010.

It is worth noting that Thompson is currently competing in his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal. At the age of 30 years and 6 months, he aims to join the ranks of the oldest first-time ATP Masters 1000 semifinalists in the tournament’s history. With a 9-7 record against top 20 players in 2024, Thompson has improved significantly from his previous career record of 8-28 against them. He currently sits at number 26 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings and could climb to number 24 with a victory in the quarterfinals.

Looking at Humbert’s achievements, the 26-year-old player from France broke into the top 20 rankings in November 2023. He further climbed to a career-high ranking of 13 in April 2024, shortly after winning the Dubai tournament. This victory made him only the third player in the Open Era, alongside Gulbis and Klizan, to win their sixth ATP Tour title in their sixth final.

Humbert has had notable wins over top-ranked opponents throughout his career. He upset Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev, both ranked in the top 10, en route to winning his third career title at the 2021 Halle tournament. The Frenchman has also claimed two ATP Tour titles on home soil: the 2023 Metz tournament held in his hometown and the 2024 Marseille tournament.

In 2020, Humbert secured his first ATP Tour title at the Auckland Open at the age of 21, becoming the youngest French champion since Gasquet in 2007. He continued his success that year by saving four match points against Daniel Evans to win his second ATP Tour title at the Antwerp tournament.

With a record of 13-16 against top 10 players, Humbert has earned some significant victories in his career. He achieved his biggest win by defeating world number 2 Daniil Medvedev at the 2022 ATP Cup. Humbert also claimed a victory over his namesake, Ugo Humbert, who was ranked number 2 at the time, at the 2024 ATP Masters 1000 Paris.

Currently, Humbert is on an impressive 11-match winning streak on French indoor hard courts, having won titles in Metz and Marseille, as well as defeating rising star Carlos Alcaraz in the third round of the Paris tournament. He has now advanced to his fourth ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal and aims to reach his first semifinal at this level. The last Frenchman to achieve this feat was Julien Benneteau in 2017.

In terms of their performance in the 2024 season, both Thompson and Humbert have had successful campaigns. Humbert leads the French win leaders on the ATP Tour, with a record of 37-23 and two titles to his name. Thompson, on the other hand, holds a record of 35-23 in 2024, including his title win in Los Cabos. Both players will be eager to continue their impressive form and secure a spot in the semifinals.

The matchup between Jordan Thompson and Ugo Humbert promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both players eager to showcase their skills and advance further in the tournament. Thompson will rely on his experience and improved record against top-ranked opponents, while Humbert will seek to maintain his winning streak on French indoor hard courts and continue his rise in the ATP rankings. Tennis fans around the world will be eagerly watching this clash of talents as they battle it out on the court.
