LIVE – Rolex Paris Masters: Humbert resets the counters

As in the first break, the Tricolore picks up immediately. If both players are still under pressure, it is in a great exchange that the Frenchman gets the best.

He makes too many mistakes and is punished. Four unforced errors on almost harmless balls for having his back to the wall. The Russian will serve to win the set.

He relies on his service to pick up on Humbert. Khachanov still struggles with his forehands but provides the essentials to stay in the game.

Another great foreign service that the Russian cannot touch. Humbert leads and takes advantage of his opponent's forehand shortcomings to take the lead.

He made his stroke of luck come true. With a super uncrossed forehand, the Habs overwhelm the Russian to get back to 3-3.

A stroke of luck for Humbert, on a return his ball has a false bounce in the Russian's camp and hits the frame of his racket.

Not in the game, too tense, Ugo Humbert is not relaxed and makes direct errors in the net. He loses his faceoff.

Two break points to put away, that's what the Russian had to do before offering his second game. Humbert hits hard and takes the game into his own hands, it's nothing.

After emergency services intervene, the match can resume normally.

Discomfort in the stands. Security and a doctor come closer to a spectator who appears to be affected. The game is temporarily stopped.

It's a shame… Humbert didn't dare to press his blows and was punished by his opponent. On a short ball with a powerful backhand forehand, Khachanov saves the first break point.

On Khachanov's serve, the Habs take advantage of the second balls to attack their opponent. A choice that pays off, the first hot moment for the Russian.

This one was much simpler. The Frenchman manages to make his opponent crack when the exchange begins.

Quiet game for Khachanov. Two first winning services, a direct error from the Frenchman and an easy ball to close to return to 1-1 without problem.

Tense, the Habs rely on their very good service to win this first important game. Ugo Humbert had to save a break point.

Great first battle on the diagonals, the Russian makes another move. The Frenchman sees his backhand stay in the net.

Ugo Humbert begins the meeting at the service.

Solid, Alexander Zverev qualified for the final of the Rolex Paris Masters by dismissing the Dane Holger Rune in two sets (6-3, 7-6). The world number 3 will face the winner of this meeting tomorrow.

With his success, Zverev will return to second place in the ATP rankings on Monday.

Under the ovation of the public, Ugo Humbert enters the course followed by the Russian Khachanov.
