faces Carlos Alcaraz in the Paris-Bercy tournament Ugo Humbert and his nightmares. The Spaniard, very firm in his debut in the last Masters 1,000 of the year against Nico Jarry (7-5 and 6-1), faces a French tennis player in the round of 16, on a French stage, with a closed roof, an unpleasant memory because three years ago years he suffered what it meant to play in hostile territory.
In that Paris-Bercy of 2021, an 18-year-old Alcaraz, with acne and still in that complicated process of breaking into the elite and among the elders, felt before Hugo Gaston the vertigo of a stand against him, of an unpleasant atmosphere that hurt him , which hurt him, devastated, in tears and buried his face in the towel during the meeting. He accepted the suffering and the lack of resources to handle it in a message that he would later send on social media.
«It is never easy to play with the public against you and yesterday it was demonstrated, I knew that it was going to be difficult to deal with the atmosphere there was, but I did not imagine that it could be so heavy. My first time in this situation was not easy for me, it hurt me a lot not knowing how to deal with that pressure. But, like everything in life, we fall, but we get up and keep going. The most important thing is to learn from these situations and I am sure that I will come back stronger and with lessons learned.
And he continued forward, and stronger, having learned his lesson and closed his mind and the scars to push forward in a career in which he has surpassed Gaston (24 years old, 81 in the world, 0 titles) and Humbert on all fronts. His rival today, 26 years old and 18th in the world, has accumulated six titles to the 16 of the Spaniard, who has the head-to-head favorable 2-0, the two dates that both had in 2024: Wimbledon round of 16 (6- 3, 6-4, 1-6 and 7-5) and the Davis Cup (6-3 and 6-3). For the moment, Gaston, the cause of everything, maintains his rivalry in favor thanks to that match in which the pressure got the better of Alcaraz, who led 5-0 in the second set and saw how it dissolved between tears and errors until the 6th. -4 and 7-5 final.
