Ugo Humbert had an accident months ago in a hotel room, with an unfortunate slip that resulted in a fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his right hand. It has been a long road to recovery, having competed for weeks with such disabling pain that he couldn't hit his two-handed backhand. After overcoming the first round at Roland Garros 2025, it seems he is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

"I can hit my backhand again almost at 100% of my ability, that's the best news. At the beginning of the match, I felt a pain of 6 or 7 out of 10, after about 10 or 15 minutes the discomfort lessens, and after 45 minutes on the court, I felt absolutely no pain. I need to keep it up because my backhand is crucial for my success," clarified the Frenchman in TennisMajors, with his next opponent being Jacob Fearnley.
