Command Analysis
Ugo Humbert
FranceCurrent form
Humbert played his last match at the Masters in Paris. As part of that competition, we recall, he reached the final - in the decisive match, Hugo lost to Alexander Zverev. On indoor hard courts, the Frenchman has ten wins and three losses this season.
Professional qualities
Humbert has a powerful attacking game on the court. His style is based on a strong serve, which is especially effective due to his left-handed grip, which makes it difficult for opponents to return the ball. The Frenchman hits sharply from the baseline with both his two-handed backhand and forehand, often meeting the ball early to increase the tempo. Indoor courts, with their high speed and lack of weather factors, are ideal for Hugo to show his best qualities.

Humbert finished this season ranked 14th in the world and with two trophies. This year, the Frenchman won the indoor tournament in Marseille and the open hard court tournament in Dubai. Hugo has won six ATP titles in his career.
