On the program for the week in blue: Humbert’s Parisian epic, Jeanjean’s “back to back”, a double in Monastir and a series of junior victories.
ATP / Challenger: an almost magical week for Humbert
The final didn’t go as hoped but Ugo Humbert underlined it: he experienced an “unforgettable” tournament at the Rolex Paris Masters. Messin reached the final of a Masters 1000 for the first time, at home, and after a memorable victory against Carlos Alcaraz in the round of 16. Ugo is 14th (+4) in the ATP this Monday.
The Parisian tournament confirmed that, in addition to Humbert’s results, the blue youth – Arthur Son (20e), Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (30e, +1), Arthur Cazaux (67th, +18) – had very good days ahead of her. They all reached the round of 16, just like Adrian Mannarino et Arthur Rinderknech.
