Ugo Humbert beat Lorenzo Sonego in the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Monte-Carlo. The 25-year-old Frenchman is perhaps having one of the best tournaments of his career this week on ocher.
With these three consecutive successes, he is currently projected at 13th place in the world, his best career ranking, and even closer to a Top 10 which is now more than possible. He faces Casper Ruud in the quarter-finals, who is twice a finalist at Roland-Garros and a true specialist on Ocher. Novak Djokovic could face Alex De Minaur in the last four, if he beats Ruud. The meeting is scheduled for the very end of the day, and will not start before 4 p.m. The match will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Monaco, with the first set starting at 5-7, 6-3, and the second set at 6-1.
