First disillusionment at Roland Garros. Before 2 p.m., this Sunday, May 26, the highest ranked Frenchman in the ATP, Ugo Humbert – seeded No. 17 – was eliminated in the first round against the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (6-4, 2-6 , 6-4, 6-3).
On the Suzanne-Lenglen court, the Habs increased the number of unforced errors. A lack of control which precipitated its elimination. However, the Habs were able to bounce back after a difficult first set. During the second round, he quickly broke his opponent and then led 3-0.
Flaws in the service
A second break, at 5-2, assured him a quiet end to the round. But his first serve percentage (55%, compared to 71% for Sonego) was too low to last in the game. Despite 8 break points saved out of 12 in total, Humbert gave up in the third and fourth sets, at the end of a match which came close to three hours of play (2h52).
Among the women, French number 1 Caroline Garcia (seeded no. 21) takes the field against German Eva Lys, 145th player in the world. She remains on three successive eliminations in the second round of Roland-Garros.
