Humbert's back to the wall against Sonego at Roland-Garros!

Humbert's back to the wall against Sonego at Roland-Garros!

We've known it since the draw. This first-round match against Lorenzo Sonego resembled the trap match par excellence for Hugo Humbert. Ranked 17th in the world, the left-hander is, on paper, France's best chance at Porte d'Auteuil. However, he's already a set away from elimination.

Faced with an opponent who doesn't do well on ochre (already beaten by the same Italian last year, in the second round), the French No. 1 will have to redouble his efforts if he wants to go far in Paris. Indeed, after an average start to the match that cost him the first set (6-4), Humbert looked set to regain the upper hand. However, despite a well-organized second set (4-6, 6-2), he let Sonego come back to win the third act (6-4, 2-6, 6-4 after just over 2 hours of play).

Generally superior, the Frenchman was unable to capitalize on his strong moments and finds himself one set away from the exit. He'll have to react urgently!

The person who write this article is completely incorrect, or simply ignorant to write the statement "Jannik Sinner is all about himself". Is the writer for real? Jannik is the most decent, humble and
