The Frenchman leaves the ATP Masters 1000 in Montecarlo 2025 convinced that playing injured is the right thing to do.
Ugo Humbert
We analyze which tennis players can reach the privilege of being one of the top 10 in the world taking advantage of the weakness of some of those who are now in that select club.
His debut victory at the Indian Wells Masters 1000 does not change Ugo Humbert's opinion of the United States. The Frenchman does not enjoy coming here, although it has nothing to do with the tournaments. After defeating Kei Nishikori in the second round (6-4, 6-3), the French player revealed in a conversation with L’Equipe who is the new member of his team that will accompany him both this week and the following fortnight in Miami.
"I have hired a chef," Humbert surprised with his statements. "In the United States, I always have trouble eating, I refer mainly to the quality. In restaurants, they serve you plastic salads, and I always end up with a stomachache. I am hypersensitive to that, so I pay a lot of attention to nutrition. I am also gluten intolerant, I can eat a little, but I have to be very careful; otherwise, I suffer a lot of pain," stated the current No. 19 in the rankings.

The world number 20 details what improvements he seeks on clay to evolve as a player on the circuit.
A significant downfall of seeded players has taken place in the men's draw of the Miami Open 2025, with 11 out of the 32 favorites being eliminated right from the start. This is a situation that is increasingly common in tournaments, but in this edition of the Florida tournament, it is even more surprising given the caliber of some players.
Seeded ATP players eliminated before the third round:
- Carlos Alcaraz (2)
- Jack Draper (6)
- Daniil Medvedev (7)
- Andrey Rublev (8)
- Holger Rune (11)
- Ben Shelton (13)

The accumulated physical and mental wear and tear during this past week has been the trigger for Ugo Humbert and Alejandro Davidovich to decide to withdraw from competing in Doha and Rio de Janeiro, respectively. Both tennis players have gathered enough points and competitive rhythm to take a break before the first Masters 1000 of the year.

Indoor Hard Court Success on French Soil. Hearing this combination is music to the ears of Ugo Humbert, who has already established himself as a true contender to beat when conditions are fast, especially indoors. The Frenchman claimed his seventh ATP title at the 2025 ATP Marseille by defeating Hamad Medjedovic in the final (7-6(4), 6-4), where he demonstrated his dominance with his serve and recovered well from his only moment of weakness (losing serve in the first set at 5-4). With this victory, he will return to the top 15 (#14) and boasts an impressive stat: an 18-1 record over the last two years on indoor hard courts in France, including three titles (Metz, Marseille, Marseille), a final in Paris-Bercy (lost to Zverev), and two wins in the Davis Cup. A true specialist.

A missed opportunity for Daniil Medvedev at the ATP Marsella 2025. The Russian was defeated by Hamad Medjedovic convincingly (6-3 6-2), fading another chance to claim a title, as he hasn't lifted one since 2023. Medvedev's path seems aimless after such a clear loss to a player who, while dangerous on this surface, shouldn't be able to beat with such authority. The Serb will now play in another ATP final, this time against Ugo Humbert, who managed to beat Zizou Bergs 6-4 6-4. A Frenchman who, unsurprisingly, excels playing at home, aiming for his sixth crown on the main circuit, looking to defend the Marseille 2024 title tomorrow.

Despite being the second seed at the 2025 Marseille ATP 250, Ugo Humbert couldn't say that the draw handed him an easy start. He had to face none other than Alexander Bublik in his opening match, a game he managed to win in straight sets just a few minutes ago (7-6, 6-4). For now, he is the only French player with a ticket to the quarterfinals, pending the results of his compatriots Herbert and Grenier tomorrow.
Other match results of the day
- (Q) P Herbert def. H Mayot: 2-6 7-5 6-3
- [7] L Sonego def. (LL) L Van Assche: Retired
