A successful debut for Humbert!

Ugo Humbert reassured himself on Sunday.

Ranked 15th in the world and seeded 10th, the Frenchman is eagerly awaited in Paris.

Indeed, playing the Olympic Games on home soil, and as France's number 1, is never easy.

Nevertheless, Humbert got the job done.

Facing Fabian Marozsan, ranked 49th in the world, the 26-year-old left-hander didn't need to work very hard to qualify.

Taking advantage of a surprisingly febrile Hungarian (9 winners, 19 unforced errors), he finally prevailed after just over an hour's play (6-3, 6-2).

Solid and convincing, Humbert will now attempt to reach the last eight.

To do so, he will have to overcome the winner of the match between Cerundolo and Barrios Vera.
