Is Ugo Humbert's love life the secret weapon behind his Paris Masters success?

French player Ugo Humbert has been blessed with the luck of the Irish lately. Despite a tipsy-turvy 2024 season, Paris became a lucky spot for the ATP star. The Frenchman defeated Karen Khachanov in an incredible three-set match to make his way to the final. After the victory, Humbert shared a romantic moment with his girlfriend showing a great equation with his partner. Does their love hint at something? Yes. That the support of a loved one can inspire one to go all out.

This French player had an average 2024 season as he couldn’t get past the third round in any Grand Slam tournament. He won the 2024 Open 13 and the 2024 Dubai Tennis Championships and reached the 2024 Qatar Open and the 2024 Monte Carlo Masters quarterfinals. After that, Humbert’s performance declined and but he returned to his form in the Japan Open – where he lost the finals to Arthur Fils. Following ups and downs this season, the French player has secured a place at the Paris Masters final where he will play against Alexander Zverev.

The French player’s impressive performance delighted the fraternity. However, more than his victory, his heartwarming moment with his girlfriend stole the spotlight. The official IG profile of the Rolex Paris Masters rolled out a video where Humbert hugged his girlfriend Tessah Andrianjafitrimo after reaching the finals. Their expressions showed how intensely Humbert’s girlfriend cheered for her partner. “Paris is the city of love after all ❤️#RolexParisMasters,” captioned the page. Humbert not only hugged his girlfriend but also sealed his post-victory moment with a kiss inspiring all the lovebirds out there.

Humbert’s coach Chardy couldn’t attend his Open 13 tournament in Marseille. That is when the player’s partner Tessah arrived on the scene and doubles up as her boyfriend’s coach. Not to forget, this partnership helped Humbert win the title this season by defeating Grigor Dimitrov. “She’s a player and she’s injured now. But Jeremy was not in Marseille, so I said to her, ‘OK, this week you are my coach’,” said the French player. He added, “She gave me a lot of confidence because when I arrived, I was not really confident after a bad week of practice. But during the matches, she was so focused on what I had to do. She’s so positive on the court and I felt she made me really relaxed.”
