Ugo Humbert will not be in his first fight against Alexander Zverev at Paris-Bercy, this Sunday in the final of the tournament. The Frenchman already faced the German last year in the second round, and it resulted in a huge three and a half hour battle.
A battle won in the tie-break of the third set (6-4, 6-7[3]7-6[5]) by Zverev in a completely crazy atmosphere. An atmosphere that Humbert hopes will be similar today, with a different outcome than last season.
Ugo Humbert: “Last year, the match against Zverev was completely crazy. There was a great level of play, an incredible scenario, and then it gave me confidence, and I stacked the bricks as I went along.
There were matches against great players that I hung in there, but didn't win. But every time, I tell myself, you're not far, you're not far. And then there, everything fits together, and that's what's nice about tennis.
Afterwards, it's going to be a great fight. I think about one thing, it's just to do my recovery, to prepare myself as best as possible, it's the only thing I can control. And there you have it, I'm doing my best to be ready for this next fight. »
