Ugo Humbert gave himself a real scare on Monday. Plunged into a worrying phase of doubt (3 wins in 11 matches before Wimbledon), the French No.1 managed to pull himself together on the London turf.

Facing Alexander Shevchenko, ranked 57th in the world, Humbert needed more than 3 hours of battle to finally win in 5 sets (6-1, 4-6, 7-6, 6-7, 6-1).

Very aggressive from the baseline (55 winners, 45 unforced errors), the left-hander can take a deep breath. In the second round, he will face Van de Zandschulp (97th).

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
