Yannick Noah welcomed his sixth child with his new partner Malika: a little girl named Keelaani born on October 21. As a reminder, the former tennis champion was already the father of Joakim born in 1985 and Yéléna born in 1987 (fruits of his love affair with Cécilia Rodhe), Eleejah born March 1, 1996 and Jenaye born October 23, 1997 from his history with the model Heather Stewart-Whyte and Joalukas, born in 2004 from his relationship with Isabelle Camus.
Preview from the stands of the opposing match Ugo Humbert against Jordan Thompson during the Masters 1000 (meeting which he took advantage of with his son Joalukas)the 64-year-old young father had his face closed. Surely a little tired by his return to diapers and bottles since the arrival of his last child and preoccupied by the meeting with the Frenchman, the former tennis player was able to follow the thrilling match of Lorraine who won with a score 6 -2, 7-6 in the quarter-finals of the Rolex Paris Masters.
Yannick Noah young dad but still just as passionate
“I'm not far away. There is a match, all my friends called me, I was supposed to come see Richie (Gasquet) the other day but I couldn't. I am 10 minutes away by bike, I came with pleasure, I would even have liked to come yesterday (Thursday) but I do not regret having come. Because I had a great time and in the end, it wins. When he had his two match points, lost the game and broke behind, I said to myself 'Ahalala, that's it, I'm the black cat, I have to get out!' No, I'm so happy for them, for their team!” confided Yannick Noah to The Team. A meeting full of twists and turns which explains the different feelings experienced by the former captain of the French Fed Cup team.
With this victory, Ugo Humbert became the first Frenchman to reach this stage of the competition since Richard Gasquet, in Cincinnati in 2019. “I had a very solid match from start to finish. I played a great first set, I started very well by being, as usual, ultra-aggressive. I let go of my punches pretty quickly, I felt like I was getting ahead of him.”indicated Ugo Humbert to Sports after his exploit. He will now challenge Russian Karen Khachanov in the semi-final of the Rolex Paris Masters this Saturday, November 2, 2024.
