Humbert had missed a step during the game, which led to him falling badly. His opponent and long-time friend, Fokina, immediately showed concern by rushing to help him.
“I’ve known Ugo since we were kids. I’m going to cry because I was watching him cry. It’s never easy to see a friend like this,” said Fokina during an on-court interview.
Fokina had made it to the quarter-finals in Montpellier in 2021, and is set to play against Quentin Halys in the second round in southern France.
