Ugo Humbert dreams of putting an end to his Roland-Garros “complex”

At the Rolex Paris Masters in Bercy last season, the current world ^number 22 thrilled the French crowd to reach his first Masters 1000 final (losing to Zverev ). The first French player to reach the final of a tournament in this category since Gaël Monfils in Monte-Carlo (2016), Ugo Humbert is clearly one of the best indoor players. He has won 18 of his last 19 matches and 4 of his 7 ATP titles.

And if one of the four Grand Slams took place with a roof over his head, he would be one of the outsiders. On clay, it's a completely different story. And especially at Roland-Garros. In six participations, the Lorraine native has won only one match at Porte d'Auteuil... Results unworthy of a player who has flirted with the top 10 these last two years and twice reached the ^round of 16 at Wimbledon (2019 and 2024) and the round ^of 16 at the last Australian Open.
