Ugo Humbert stops from the 2nd round at Roland-Garros. Not because of a defeat but due to a very nasty fall on the short Simone-Mathieu during the 2nd set against the British Jacob Fearnley. The Frenchman, who had lost the first round (3-6), led 4-3 in the second, with a service to follow. But at 40-A, the 22nd world player planted his right leg in the ground. The knee seems to have turned and he immediately stood his calf.
Ugo Humbert then requested and obtained a medical dead time. Returning to the short ten minutes later, the right calf completely bandaged, he only held the end of the game, letting Fearnley return to 4-4. The 26 -year -old French man was too much to be able to continue. He then abandoned in this second set. In seven participations in Roland-Garros, Humbert has never exceeded the second round.
Finalist of the Masters 1000 of Paris Bercy last fall, he was already disrupted by a hand injury for several weeks. Jacob Fearnley will face his compatriot Cameron Norrie on Saturday in the 16th finals.
