Humbert

Ugo Humbert unfortunately could not take part in this season's 2025 Rolex Paris Masters due to a back injury.

In 2024, the Frenchman had an incredible run, reaching the final. Facing Carlos Alcaraz in the third round, a major challenge awaited him.

During a changeover, Humbert said some words to himself: "With your heart, man, come on. Play with your heart, let's go, let's go.

I don't give a damn if you don't make a shot, I don't care. On the other hand, you fight like a dog.

Give it your all, it's the last Bercy, man. It's your turn now, come on! You can do it, you can do it, come on! Let yourself go."

Humbert ultimately won 6-1, 3-6, 7-5.
