Humbert defeats young Kouamé and will be Sinner's first opponent in Montecarlo
Logic prevailed in the duel between the experienced Ugo Humbert and the great promise of French tennis, Moise Kouamé. The 17-year-old received an invitation to participate in his first Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo, but he couldn't secure the victory against a Humbert who dominated much of the match, which was enough to win in the first round of the Monegasque tournament with a result of 6-3, 7-5, after an hour and 47 minutes. However, he won't have much time to celebrate as his next opponent in the second round will be Jannik Sinner, with whom he has a tied head-to-head record (1-1).
