Forced to abandon last Thursday against Jacob Fearnley in the third round of Roland-Garros after being injured in the right calf, Ugo Humbert spent an MRI that did not reveal on Friday. Messin should therefore be able to respect the agenda it has set for the season on grass.
Finally good news for Ugo Humbert. Since the start of the battered earth season, Messin had aligned the disappointments. On Saturday, a positive note has (finally) come to clarify the very dark trajectory in recent weeks of the old French number 1 dislodged since Arthur fils. If his new tile, last week at Roland-Garros, suggested that the 21st World Cup, in the same way that his young compatriot, would have to considerably review the agenda he had set himself for the season on grass, not to say in full, it will ultimately be-and fortunately-not the case.
The news is indeed reassuring for the former protégé of Jérémy Chardy, forced last Thursday to throw in the towel during the match against the British Jacob Fearnley (who led 6-3, 4-4) in the third round of the Paris tournament. Humbert passed an MRI on Friday that did not find this lesion that feared the Lorraine as well as all his clan.

More fear than harm therefore for the one who had injured himself in a very stupid way (Editor’s note: he had hit his bedside table by sliding in his hotel room during the Uts de Nîmes) on the eve of the Masters 1000 of Monte-Carlo and had to go through all the season on Earth, Roland-Garros except, with a fracture in the right hand (at the level of the fifth metacarpian) Long forced to play his matches with an imposing splint.
The former member of the Top 15 (he was 13th in the world classification at the height of his career) should therefore be able to align with the tournaments he had planned, namely Sécagenbosch, Halle and Eastbourne. With obviously in sight this Wimbledon tournament, from June 30. During the last edition, Humbert had reached the knockout stages. The goal will be to do at least as well.
