The battle was tough, very tough between Ugo Humbert and Alexander Zverev at the Rolex Paris Masters this Wednesday evening. After more than 3h30 of fighting, it was finally the German who won, eliminating the last Frenchman still competing in this tournament (6-4, 6-7, 7-6). Messin can still be proud of its performance. Particularly combative, he was at the end of himself. He even felt unwell during the meeting.
“Physically, I was exhausted after an hour and a half,” he said after the match. And there, I came off the court, I felt unwell. I really pushed through my efforts. I have nothing to regret. When you finish in that state… I think it’s just that I gave the best of myself, it didn’t come down to much. Just kudos to him. »
The Frenchman then explained his discomfort in a little more detail. And the symptoms were numerous. “I came off the court, I was completely out of breath,” he said. My eyes were starting to close. I told Jérémy (Chardy, his trainer): I have to lie down, and lift my legs, I’m going to leave. The doctor arrived. Afterwards, I had a coke, I had to lie down for 10 minutes. This happens to me from time to time. It all came down suddenly. I was also in a bit of a trance state during the match. I gave a lot of myself, I experienced it to the fullest, I think it’s normal. »
This extremism, however, did not allow him to reach the round of 16 of this last Masters 1000 of the season. Qualified, Alexander Zverev will face Tsitsipas this Thursday. There is therefore no longer any Frenchman in the table, Ugo Humbert being the last and only hope of the Tricolores in the second round.
