Almost without making any noise, Ugo Humbert qualified for his first career final on the pro circuit on Friday by winning the semi-finals of the Auckland tournament against the 20th world, John Isner.
Incredible performance from @HumbertUgo !! 🇫🇷

Against the American, the 21-year-old Frenchman never got into trouble, offering no break point to the 34-year-old veteran to win 7-6 (7/5), 6-4. Humbert, 57th in the world, was particularly intractable by not conceding any points on his first service.
He will face in the final the winner of the confrontation between Benoît Paire and the Pole Hubert Hurkacz. Leaving Shapovalov or Cecchinato in the previous rounds, he will in any case have achieved an excellent tournament.
