Ugo Humbert<\/a> will bid to snap Jannik Sinner<\/a>\u2019s 17-match winning streak at ATP Masters 1000 level on Tuesday, when the pair clashes in the second round at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A seven-time ATP Tour titlist, Humbert has shown plenty of appetite for bringing his best to some of tennis\u2019 biggest stages in the past, not least when he upset Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> en route to the final at the 2024 Rolex Paris Masters<\/a>. <\/p>\n

ATPTour.com spoke with Humbert to discover his takes on tennis, including diving into his favourite rivalries and the interesting character development he believes comes purely from his life as a tennis player. <\/p>\n

\"\u201cATP<\/a><\/p>\n

What is your favourite ATP Tour tournament to play and why?
I have a lot of ATP tournaments that I really love. All the tournaments in France, I really like them because of the atmosphere and because I feel great. I feel all the support of the French crowd. If not in France, I like Halle, because I won and have good memories there, and it\u2019s really green with the nature. I feel like I\u2019m on holidays when I\u2019m there. For me the best Masters 1000, just because of the place being beautiful, is Indian Wells.<\/p>\n

Do you ever think about what the French crowd is like for your opponents who aren\u2019t French?
When I played, for example, in Bercy, when you have 15,000 people with you, it\u2019s difficult for your opponent. I played against [Nick] Kyrgios in Australia, so I know what it feels like.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite tennis rivalry?
[Roger] Federer and [Rafael] Nadal, because I grew up watching them. So for me it\u2019s the best.<\/p>\n

Who is your own greatest rival?
I played a lot against Miomir Kecmanovic<\/a>. I think it\u2019s 4-3 to him. I also have big troubles against [Emil] Ruusuvuori, he leads 5-0 against me or something. The matches are always really tight. I had match points in two matches I think, but I lost every match against him.<\/p>\n

Has there been a unique or standout moment in your career so far?
[The Rolex Paris Masters<\/a>] in 2024. I was totally possessed the whole week [to reach the final]. It was the best week ever, even if I didn\u2019t win the tournament. It was crazy.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the biggest thing you\u2019ve been chasing?
To win a Grand Slam. For me, Wimbledon<\/a> would be amazing.<\/p>\n

How exciting is the chase?
I want to give everything for it. You want to work hard for it. You think about it. You dream about it. At the end, it makes a big difference. Even if I don\u2019t win it this year, I know I can do it, and I like this feeling.<\/p>\n

What is the biggest challenge you\u2019ve had to overcome in your career?
For me, the injury [in 2025] was not easy to manage. I had a broken finger for two months and it was the first time I was injured. It was not easy. <\/p>\n

Is there anything you got to do only because you are a tennis player?
I\u2019m not the same guy off the court that I am when I\u2019m on the court. So I think I have two different personalities. If I didn\u2019t play tennis, I wouldn\u2019t have that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It All Adds Up It All Adds Up for Ugo Humbert: How tennis serves his \u2018two different personalities\u2019…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":569154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-569153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
