“You have to stop believing that I am superhuman. I'm not a robot. I played with anti-inflammatories all week because my back was hurting. I dug into the head. For the Moselle Open, I will try to be intelligent. » Ugo Humbert did not hide his great fatigue, Sunday evening, a few minutes after his final lost against the German Alexander Zverev at the Rolex Paris Masters. The night was not really restorative and Messin had to realize, this Monday, November 4, that his body was no longer keeping up and that there was no point in playing with fire. He therefore decided to forfeit, with death in his soul. He will not appear on center court tomorrow to defend his title and face Hugo Gaston. He is expected to hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon to explain himself concretely. The tournament loses its title holder, but above all its darling and its ambassador. He is replaced in the final table by a lucky loser: the Frenchman Titouan Droguet.
Many Tricolores will try to take over from Ugo Humbert: Benjamin Bonzi, Adrian Mannarino, Corentin Moutet or Hugo Gaston.
