Benoît Maylin on the French team: I wouldn't have picked Ugo Humbert

Benoît Maylin, a commentator on the "Sans Filet" show on Winamax, criticized Paul-Henri Mathieu's choices for the French Davis Cup selection.

The French journalist is firm: with a selection announced so early, current form must take priority. And Ugo Humbert, despite his recent final, did not convince:

"He's in the final because Rune withdraws, and against Ruud, he's absolutely non-existent. If I have the choice for a fifth man, I'd directly pick Arthur Rinderknech and Corentin Moutet. I wouldn't think twice.

So what is the French team? A hospital to patch up slightly bruised guys, or is it to pick the best players at the moment? Let's imagine that Giovanni loses quickly in Basel and does nothing in Paris. If Ugo Humbert does the same..."

As a reminder, captain Paul-Henri Mathieu selected four players to face Belgium in the Davis Cup finals from November 18 to 23 in Bologna: Ugo Humbert, Benjamin Bonzi, Arthur Rinderknech, and Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
