Tokyo, Shanghai… and perhaps more: Humbert reunites with his former mentor Chardy

Amid multiple commitments, Jérémy Chardy has agreed to support Ugo Humbert for a decisive tour. Could this reignite the momentum of the French No. 2, whose ranking is in jeopardy?

Humbert-Chardy, chapter two? Eight months after their separation following the Australian Open, where the Metz native reached the round of 16, the two men will work together again, though the duration of this renewed collaboration is unknown.

L'Équipe reports that the French No. 2, without a coach since parting ways with Fabrice Martin at the end of August, has managed to bring back his former mentor Jérémy Chardy for the Tokyo and Shanghai tournaments. His presence could reignite Humbert's end of season, as 52% of his points will be up for grabs between Tokyo and Paris.

To note, Chardy is already quite busy with coaching Alycia Parks and his responsibilities with the UTS.
