Mallorca: Humbert forfeit his eighth

Ugo Humbert’s winning streak ends at six! Winner of the Halle tournament on Sunday and even eight of the nine matches he has played on turf this season, the world No.25 suffered abdominal pain and forfeited his round of 16 in Mallorca, where he was to face this Wednesday Sam Querrey (60th), whom he had beaten in three sets eight days ago in Halle.

On Tuesday, Messin had entered his tournament well, beating Miomir Kecmanovic in three sets, but he probably does not want to take any risks with five days before kick-off at Wimbledon, where he will be the No. 22 seed. And with a very successful grass season after a very disappointing clay season, the Frenchman can dream of the second week if he arrives at 100% of his means.
