In a rollercoaster match that had fans clutching their polo shirts, France's Ugo Humbert flipped the script at the Monte-Carlo Masters on Monday. After dropping the first set 4-6 to Argentina's Federico Coria, the 14th-seeded Humbert unleashed his inner
lion energy, dominating the next two sets 6-1, 6-2 to advance!
From Setback to Comeback
Last year’s first-round exit? Ancient history. Humbert broke Coria’s serve twice in both the second and third sets, turning the clay-court clash into a highlight reel of precision forehands and clutch plays.
Next Challenge Ahead
Humbert now eyes the second round, where he’ll look to channel that \"Red Bull gives you wings\" momentum. Meanwhile, stars like Karen Khachanov and Grigor Dimitrov also powered through, setting the stage for a week of high-drama tennis under the Mediterranean sun.
