Pierre Hughes Herbert News
The Frenchman served eight aces, won 86% of his first ever points and converted 100% of the breakpoints (2/2) during his straight sets win over Norbert Gombos in the first round. With this win, Herbert has won at least one match in the three indoor hard court tournaments that he has entered in 2018.
Pierre Hughes Herbert, who has never managed to progress beyond the first round here in his previous three visits, has made a decent start to the season winning seven of his opening 11 matches, including a quarterfinal appearance at ATP Pune.
Lucas Pouille News
Lucas Pouille entered ATP Montpellier after losing his opening two matches of the season against Rublev and Bemelmans, however, the current form did not mean much for the Frenchman who defeated the likes of Benoit Paire, Jo Wilfried Tsonga (retired) and Richard Gasquet to lift his career’s fifth ATP World Tour title.
The 23-year-old Pouille paid the price for the previous week’s success by facing a first-round exit in the following week at ATP Rotterdam (vs. Rublev). Lucas Pouille will now be playing his first match in nearly seven days while Herbert did not have even 24 hours recovery time between his first and second round matches which could be an advantage for the World #16.
Tennis Match Prediction
These two players have met four times in the past with Pierre Hughes Herbert, surprisingly, leading the H2H 3-1. But their H2H on the indoor hard courts is tied at 1-1, Herbert won at an ITF event in 2010 while Pouille won at ATP Metz in 2016. Herbert will most often be consistent with his performances while Pouille could be a world beater one day and will have an off day the other day, considering the nature of these players, this could very well be a 50-50 contest.
Lucas Pouille is much better prepared for this match, has good results in front of the big players. For the match today we consider Lucas Pouille to be winner.
