Humbert victorious over Norrie in Caen Open final
After losing two finals in Caen to Jules Marie and Alex de Minaur, the third was the right one for Ugo Humbert.
The Frenchman beat Cameron Norrie 6-1, 6-3 in a very convincing hour's play.
He was motivated to take his revenge and finally win this tournament. Speaking to France 3 after the match, he said: "I'm delighted to have won!
I'd lost my first two finals at the tournament, but this time I played an excellent match and played well.
I'm satisfied because it's the middle of pre-season: we're training a lot and yesterday I felt a bit tired. But I told myself: give it your all despite your little autonomy!"
