Brooksby is far from his optimum playing conditions. He lost at the start of the tournament in Florence and lost in the first round of the Antwerp competition last week. We believe that Jenson is not ready to compete at a high level at the moment.
Humbert is seen as the favourite, as Brooksby is not in the best of form at the moment. However, Jenson can pull himself together at any time and put on a good performance. The more so since he’s done reasonably well on the indoor hard court this year.
Brooksby has played poorly in his last two tournaments. He lost to Mackenzie McDonald (4-6, 6-4, 1-6) in his opening match at the Firenze Open.
Then, last week, he fell to Jack Draper (1-6, 2-6) in the first round in Antwerp. However, Brooksby has a decent indoor record this season with six wins and four defeats. Earlier this year, he reached the semi-finals at the Challenger in Columbus and played in the final in Dallas.
Brooksby has lost his last three consecutive indoor hardcourt matches.
Humbert advanced to the main draw of the Basel tournament through qualification. In qualifying, Ugo outlasted Bernabe Zapata Miralles (6-3, 6-3) and Aslan Karatsev (4-6, 7-6, 6-1).
He has 10 wins against four defeats on an indoor hard court this year. Most recently, Humbert secured victory in Rennes, where he defeated Dominic Thiem (6-3, 6-0) in the final.
Humbert has won five of his last six matches overall.
