Australian Open > Humbert, on the subject of the new box at the edge of the court: “Reserving this location only for the staff is a bit of a shame. While we're at it, we can go further. My friend, it’s support just as important as a coach”

The Australian Open is always looking to innovate.

As coaching is authorized, the organizers have therefore decided to place the players' staff on the court and not in the stands, in order to allow them to communicate easily with their player.

To have the right to settle there, you have to be part of the team while relatives cannot normally go there.

A rule that Ugo Humbert's girlfriend did not respect, who forced the blockade.

An attitude completely validated by his lover who expressed himself to our colleagues at the Team.

« Reserving this location only for the staff is a bit of a shame. While we're at it, we can go further. My girlfriend is just as important a support as a coach. Someone who can calm you down. It remains good to have this box, especially on this court. In the years before, the staff was really on top. With the small window, we couldn't hear much. If you want to look at them or hear a few things, a little advice is easier”
