What Was This About Humbert? He Looked at His Phone in the Middle of the Tiebreak and Didn't Win Any More Points
Rare video this one of Ugo Humbert that has been going viral on social media non-stop. Let me set the scene for you. It's the round of 16 match at the ATP 250 Montpellier between Ugo Humbert and Adrian Mannarino. With one set each, Ugo is leading 4-3 in the tiebreak of the third set. Suddenly, the 27-year-old player goes to his bench, checks his phone, and returns to the court. And what happens next? He doesn't win another point. He ends up losing 7-4 in the tiebreak and gets eliminated from the tournament. You can imagine, with the jungle that social media is, the amount of speculation that has been circulating in these last few hours.
