It’s the end for the French number one Ugo Humbert beaten in the second round of Roland-Garros by the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (28 years old) 48th in the world. The Turinese did not do it in detail in three sets, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) in two hours and thirty-seven minutes. The Messin for his part, 40th in the world stops there after his great victory over his compatriot Adrian Mannarino in the first round and it is Corentin Moutet who will now be the French number one.
Humbert, 24, never managed to take his opponent’s serve during the first two sets. When he finally got there, at the very start of the third set, he couldn’t prevent Sonego from immediately picking up. The two men then kept their faceoffs until the tie break in which the Italian did not shake.
Sonego is the second transalpine of the day to reach the third round after the victory of Fabio Fognini against the Australian Kubler. He will find in the third round the winner of the meeting between Corentin Moutet and Russian Andrey Rublev (seed number 7).
