Humbert wins second title in a row in Marseille!

Ugo Humbert retained his title at the Open 13 on Sunday, defeating Hamad Medjedovic 7-6, 6-4 in the final.

The Frenchman, who enjoys these indoor conditions, started the match with a break at 2-1, before allowing his opponent to gradually come back into the match, losing his service game when serving for the set at 5-4.

In the tie-break, he quickly took the upper hand (5-1) to win the first set after an hour's play.

The match, as close as ever, ended with a break at the very last moment at 5-4 on Medjedovic's serve.

Humbert, who had started the week with 250 points to defend, didn't waver when it came to his first match point.

With an efficient serve (13 aces), the 17th-ranked player in the world became the first French player to defend his title in Marseille.

At the age of 26, he has now won his 7th career title and is on an 18-match winning streak in his last 19 indoor matches in France.
