Adrian Mannarino vs Ugo Humbert prediction
Mannarino has an edge entering the match, given his record on grass courts so far this season, which is 10-4 compared to Humbert's 3-3.
Mannarino hasn't served too many aces so far in Newport but has won 72 out of 98 points on his first serve. His counterpunching style, in general, is suitable to counter Humbert's more aggressive ways. However, he will have to be a lot more lethal on his serve to make things difficult for his compatriot.
Humbert has served 10 aces in his last two matches while winning 53 out of 77 points on his first serve. He will look to make the most out of his serve and aggressive game.
From a ranking point of view, the match is expected to be close, and considering how Mannarino has fared previously on grass, he should be able to come out on top and book his place in the final.
