Outstanding. That's the only way to define the victory achieved by Terence Atmane today to advance to the third round of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. The Frenchman defeated his compatriot Ugo Humbert in a marathon lasting over two hours and fifteen minutes, with two tiebreaks (7-6(3), 7-6(5)) that reached its climax in the final sudden death: after several feints and brief stops due to cramps, Terence even fell on the clay unable to move, alternating underarm serves with blasts on one leg... and eventually, almost unbelievably, emerged victorious. The handshake between them and the boos from the stands say it all; it seems like Humbert didn't fully buy into the whole show, right?
