For his first Masters 1000 final, against world no. 3Germany’s Zverev, Frenchman Ugo Humbert can count on strong support. Among the 14,000 spectators was swimmer Florent Manaudou, six-time Olympic medallist.

In the POPB, another prestigious fan was the captain of the French national team, Antoine Dupont. The Toulousain, who has been preparing for the test match against Japan in Marcoussis for the past week, took advantage of his Sunday off to come and support his compatriot.
