Humbert before facing Brazil: "We have a good chance of going far".

This weekend, France meet Brazil in Orléans for the Davis Cup play-off.

For this match, Paul-Henri Mathieu has decided to put his faith in his top ATP-ranked players.

Ugo Humbert will open the program against João Fonseca in the first singles. An opportunity for the man from Metz to talk about his ambitions ahead of the match.

"It's the first time I've played a Davis Cup match at home. Wearing the national team jersey is always very special for me.

I think we have a good chance of going far, maybe even to the final. The Davis Cup is a competition I really enjoy.

Tennis is an individual sport, so it's nice to be able to experience a team event. You can't always play just for yourself.

It's a great feeling to go out on court and give your all for your team, your country. Arthur (Fils) and Giovanni (Mpetshi Perricard) are two very good players, and we're a very strong team.

We also have a very good doubles player in Pierre-Hugues (Herbert), who can play with practically anyone. I'm very confident," Humbert was quoted as saying by Super Tennis.
