Madrid: Ugo Humbert out in the third round, there are no more French people in the men’s draw
Stoppage for Ugo Humbert. The 14th player in the world left the Masters 1000 in Madrid in the third round, Sunday April 28, attacked by the heavy strikes of Jan-Lennard Struff (7-5, 6-4), ranked ten places behind him. The 34-year-old German, finalist in Madrid in 2023, has been confident since he won the first tournament of his career two weeks ago in Munich.
Eye-catching in the first set, the number 13 seed gave up his serve on Struff’s second break point. In the second set, the Frenchman gave in from his first throw-in and Struff’s accuracy prevented him from getting closer. His service games went by without him conceding the slightest break point.
Humbert misses the opportunity to face the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (or Thiago Seyboth Wild) and to extend his good start to the year, crowned by two titles, in Marseille and Dubai, and by a 14th place in the world rankings. There are no more French people in the men’s table. A bad signal less than a month before Roland-Garros. Among the women, there is only one left: Caroline Garcia (24th), who will face the Italian Jasmine Paolini (13th) on Sunday.
