Alexander Zverev vs Ugo Humbert Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds, Head-to-Head, Preview: Australian Open 2025

On By Littum

Zverev has made a strong start in his quest for a maiden Grand Slam trophy.

Alexander Zverev is quietly making rapid progress at the 2025 Australian Open, winning his first three rounds without much difficulty. The German hasn’t dropped a set yet and while the spotlight has been on the other star-studded men’s singles players, Zverev is looking good with each passing match.

Jacob Fearnley, who had a good run in the competition until the third round, fell to the second seed 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. The Australian Open is now heading towards the business end of the tournament and the players who can hold their nerve under pressure are likely to prevail.

Match details

  • Tournament: Australian Open 2025
  • Phase: Round-four
  • Date: January 19
  • Meeting place: John Cain Arena, Melbourne
  • Surface: Hard Court (outdoor)

Preview

Zverev cruised past Lucas Pouille, Pedro Martínez and Fearnley in his opening rounds, in straight sets, and will now face Ugo Humbert in the round of 16. Humbert will be Zverev’s first match against a top 15 player in this competition so far.

Ugo Humbert beat Matteo Gigante, Hady Habib comfortably in the first two rounds and fought fellow compatriot Arthur Fils in round three. After dropping the opening set, Humbert rallied to win the next two. Unfortunately, Fils was forced to withdraw due to injury, sealing the 26-year-old’s place in the next round.

Prior to the Australian Open, Humbert’s last appearance was at the Paris Masters, where he lost to Zverev in the final. The 14th seed has been one of the improving players on the ATP circuit but has failed to get past the German on the last two occasions, giving the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist a clear advantage.
