Lorrain, 50^e in the ATP rankings, confirms his current good form. Winner of the Cagliari Challenger in early May, Ugo Humbert had already impressed Thursday during his quarter-final against the Swiss Stan Wawrinka (7-5, 6-1). On the other side, Richard Gasquet appeared particularly tired, just over a week from the start of Roland-Garros.

On the way to the top 40?

In the final on Saturday, Humbert will be opposed to the surprising Argentinian earthman Tomas Martin Etcheverry (61^e world) who eliminated on Friday the German Jan-Lennard Struff, finalist of the last Masters 1000 in Madrid and seeded No. 1 in two sets (6-4, 6-2) too.

In the event of victory, Ugo Humbert could climb into the top 40 of the next ATP ranking (37^e), which will be made official on Monday morning.
