Ugo Humbert and Terence Atmane starred in one of the most controversial matches of the Mutua Madrid Open 2026. In the tiebreak of the second set, Atmane fell to the ground due to cramps, yet he summoned strength from weakness to take the second set and the match. This attitude did not sit well with his compatriot, especially with Jeremy Chardy (Humbert's coach), who took it out on Alexandre Robein (the chair umpire of the match). According to L'Equipe, Chardy told Robein that "you should be ashamed of yourself." In fact, other respected umpires like Mohamed Lahyani or Adel Nour had to step in to halt the conflict. Now we will have to wait for the final decision from the ATP, but the French coach and former player could be facing a serious sanction.
