Frenchman Humbert stuns Russia's Medvedev at ATP Cup
The Hindu
The U.S. Open champion broke for 3-1 in the decider, but Humbert hit back to put the set back on serve and was rarely threatened from then on
Russian Daniil Medvedev's 2022 season opened with a stunning 6-7(5) 7-5 7-6(2) defeat at the hands of Frenchman Ugo Humbert after a three-hour dogfight on a steamy Ken Rosewall Arena at the ATP Cup on January 2.
The world number two had been expected to seal the Group B tie for the reigning champions after Roman Safiullin's 2-6 7-5 6-3 victory over Arthur Rinderknech, but Humbert's inspired display kept France alive at 1-1 going into the doubles.
"It was very tough today, I'm not feeling very good now but I'm very happy," Humbert, the world number 35, laughed.
