Who is the Lebanese Hady Habib, opposed to Ugo Humbert in Melbourne for the 2nd round of the Australian Open?

The emotions have not dissipated. Before challenging Ugo Humbert in the second round of the Australian Open on Wednesday, the air is still filled with the thrill of history that shook Hady Habib and all of Lebanon last Sunday. On court 13, surrounded by a Lebanese diaspora who came in force to support the hero, Habib sent his people and the whole country to paradise. By winning in three sets against the Chinese Yunchaokete Bu (7-6, 6-4, 7-6), the world number 219 became the first Lebanese player to win a Grand Slam match, just a few days after being, de facto, the first to come out of qualifying, even saving three match points on the last obstacle against the Frenchman Clément Chidekh.
