Ugo Humbert has announced the arrival of a new, somewhat special member to his team: a chef.

In an interview with L'Équipe, the Frenchman explained his decision: "Actually, the United States is the country where I feel the least comfortable, the least at ease.

Already, at tournament sites, there’s a lot of noise, generally, with loud music, for example. But it’s also a place where I have trouble eating.

I’m talking about the quality. You go to a restaurant, and you get plastic salads, for example, and I always end up with a stomachache.

I’m hypersensitive to that, I’m very careful about nutrition.

I’m also gluten intolerant, I can eat a little bit, but I have to be careful, otherwise, there’s pain.

So, I hired a chef."

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

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. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

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.
