Ugo Humbert, the 25-year-old French tennis star, is enjoying a remarkable 2024 season, having already claimed two titles and three Top 10 victories. His success on the court is a testament to his newfound confidence and the unwavering support of his team.
Humbert’s journey to the top has not been without its challenges. In 2022, he battled COVID-19 twice, which severely impacted his training and performance. However, with the help of his coach, Jeremy Chardy, and physiotherapist, Tessah Andrianjafitrimo, he persevered and emerged stronger than ever.
“They are two people really important in my life,” Humbert said. “They always want the best for me, so I know I can trust them.”
Humbert’s positive attitude and determination have been evident throughout his career. Despite setbacks, he has always maintained a smile and a belief in his abilities.
“I always smile since I started on the tour,” he said. “I think it’s because of my mom. She’s like that and always tries to say, ‘Okay, life is beautiful. You have to enjoy what you do every day.'”
Beyond tennis, Humbert is passionate about music, particularly piano and guitar. He finds solace in playing music, which allows him to escape the pressures of the tour.
“I love music. It’s my second passion after tennis,” he said. “It’s nice to think about something else and not tennis. That’s why I play guitar.”
Humbert’s musical talents have also found expression on social media, where he has shared clips of his guitar skills. He enjoys playing a variety of genres, including rock and roll and French songs.
As the 2024 season progresses, Humbert has set his sights on qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin. With his current form and the support of his team, he is confident in his ability to achieve his goals.
“I have big goals for this year,” he said. “I will try to do it.”
