Humbert beat Jerome Kim (6-4, 6-7, 7-5) in the first round of the competition in Basel. In the confrontation with the Swiss, Hugo served 13 aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Frenchman, this was his fifth indoor victory this season with one defeat.

Humbert is an aggressive player who builds his game on attack. His strong left-handed serve causes a lot of problems for opponents on the return. The Frenchman copes well with shots from the baseline, actively using a two-handed backhand and forehand, and often meets the ball on the rise to speed up the tempo of the rally.

Goffin is far from the tennis player we are used to seeing. The Belgian form has noticeably dropped in recent weeks. Attempts to return to his former level have been unsuccessful so far.
