Bercy just wants to get drunk until he breathes his last. Ugo Humbert, opposed to world No. 3 Alexander Zverev, can offer this Sunday afternoon a grand finale to a room which is experiencing its last moments of tennis, before moving to La Défense Arena in Nanterre. Will the Frenchman have recovered from all these efforts to reach the final, after having defeated world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz and crippling Karen Khachanov who remained in two consecutive finals on the ATP circuit? It doesn't matter if the tank gauge is not full, the accumulated confidence will still be of great help to him against Alexander Zverev to seek that little spark from the public. It was said to be reserved, but the Frenchman is no longer afraid to show himself, and to take responsibility for what is inside him on the court.
“He only wants to go to the end”
“He is different from the others because he is not afraid to be himself, quite simply,” his partner Tessah Andrianjafitrimo, 307th player in the world, told us after qualifying for the Mosellan final. “He has this madness. You saw on the videos how he talks to himself between changes of sides in everyday life, he's a crazy person, he's not alone in his head, and he doesn't have it. not afraid to take it on. That's what makes him strong. He's also simple and humble, and that's what makes him beautiful, he's always said it. I only want to go to the end of this tournament. It's going to be a great match. Last year, it was a great atmosphere. It’s going to be a great show.”
