A new medal which will allow Humbert, 25, to once again become the French No. 1 on Monday: he will move to 18th in the world rankings, one place ahead of Adrian Mannarino.
This is the best ranking of his career.
A very clearly dominated final
After easily dismissing world No. 8 Hubert Hurkacz this Saturday, Humbert, aggressive and untouchable on serve, clearly dominated the final against Dimitrov, 13th world player and former No. 3 in the ATP rankings.
Perhaps tired by the nearly three-hour fight fought on Saturday in the semi-final against the Russian Karen Khachanov, Dimitrov was constantly put under pressure by Humbert, confident and dominant.

Already winner of his first four finals on the main circuit, Humbert concluded without trembling in the slightest.
“I feel very strong mentally in the final and I had a great match against one of the best in the world,” summarized Messin after the match.
“It’s a tournament that means a lot to my heart.
I experienced a lot of firsts here, including my first semi-final in 2019. So it’s a special place for me, thank you for your support,” he also told the Marseille public.
