Humbert awaits Alcaraz: "I'm going out there to win".

The Davis Cup match between Spain and France is eagerly awaited, especially in France.

Indeed, Les Bleus have their backs against the wall. Beaten narrowly by the Australians on Tuesday (2-1), the Tricolores will have to upset the Spanish team, led by Carlos Alcaraz.

In this match, the second match, between the number 1 players of each nation, is likely to be decisive.

However, France will clearly not be the favorite, as Ugo Humbert will have to perform a feat against Carlos Alcaraz.

Yet the French No. 1 is far from defeated. Excellent in his victory over Popyrin on Tuesday (6-3, 6-2), Humbert is ready for battle: "Playing Alcaraz in Spain is the kind of match you remember for the rest of your life.

He's a great player, and I love watching him play. He's always creating play. He exudes something fabulous on the pitch.

At Wimbledon (defeat in the last 16 in four sets, 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-5), I felt that I was causing him quite a few problems.

It took away any doubts about my ability to win against guys like that.

I need to play against them more regularly to get used to the intensity. It was good for me.

It's taken away a lot of doubts and made me believe in myself more (at Wimbledon).

I'm going out there to win. I know I've got what it takes.

I'm going to make the most of the moment and the atmosphere."(comments relayed by L'Équipe).
