“He has no idea how to behave” Khachanov rips into Humbert | The Break

[@Astraplans]

Humbert was an absolute disgrace. Apalling behaviour during the match with Khachanov. I was so happy to see Zverev wipe the court with him. Notice how much quieter he became when he was getting hammered?

[@farzinshokooh2085]

100% agree with you on every point.

[@slavan5466]

You guys probably confused something 🤔

[@thevitrivius9010]

Somewhere a guy wrote about Ugo's loss against Sasha "From now on, we are going to call him Ugo Humbled." :D

[@Sports4life8988]

Agreed. Absolutely unacceptable to celebrate when a player is hurt. The health of players comes first before winning. Humbert fist pumping when Khachanov fell down was horrible to see. I think his loud extended grunting was also 100% intentional during the tournament to throw off his opponents. Humbert has never been an egregious grunter (look back as recently as Shanghai in his match against Monfils, no excessive grunting). But suddenly in Paris he excessively grunts right before his opponent returns the ball? It’s a bit sus. He lacks integrity and sportsmanship. He’s lost a lot of respect from players and fans

[@ZyroSugar]

Hugo’s a clown. The delayed extending grunting was beyond absurd and obnoxious. The way he treated an injured Karen was just icing on the cake.

[@michibu876]

When I was watching the match, I was wondering why he is behaving like that while Karen is injured, classless Humbert classless

[@jasonhutchinson8060]

Humbert clearly has no class and humiliated himself and his sponsors.

[@juliaclarke2978]

Humberts behaviour during the match with Carlos was also disgusting. He doesn’t know how to be a good winner. And with Karen too he showed no class… So glad when Sasha wiped the floor with him .

[@philipcross8121]

Humbert's behaviour throughout the tournament was disgusting, appalling and disgraceful. I'm glad Zverev served him so comprehensively! It was weird as I've never seen Humbert behave like that before and I thought he was a good guy until Paris-Bercy. Maybe it was the jab!

[@geoairtravel]

❤💙🧡 Karen Khachanov 💯 Ugo gets a big fat ZERO for sportsmanship. The 🇫🇷 crowd got to his head. Karen is always fair play. 🎾

[@STRAWYB]

Yes his behaviour was an absolute disgrace. I too was disgusted at his behaviour. He has the right to celebrate but not celebrate when his opponent falls to the ground.

[@K4R3N]

I'm on Team Karen

[@rickp3374]

Don't forget, Zheng's mindset also makes her yell at linesmen for her mistakes.

[@philipcross8121]

I used to defend Zheng - I still dislike how Navarro treated her - but I'm getting the impression she's getting a little too big for her boots these days.

[@kawai99100]

He was acting like a complete fool.

[@RedesignYourLifeNow]

Lots of respect for Karen. Ugo’s behaviour was over the top. . Too much pounding on his heart with his fist and shaking his hand / fist after every point. . Out of line man-boy.

[@andyc8322]

Khachanov was also a good sport when he had to deal with kyrgios being a disrespectful clown in one of their matches

[@ValeHow-de5ts]

Obviously during the match Khachanov couldn't do anything about Humbert's really bad behavior. What other chances did he have to set boundaries and give his feedback to the Humbert?

[@wahn10]

Humbert lost many fans in the last two matches in Paris, myself included. And Zheng has a lot to learn about sportsmanship. You can be a great competitor but still be classy afterward.

[@BHdowntheline]

Humbert should be ashamed of himself

[@francisedward8713]

Zheng and Humbert, along with the likes of Collins, give tennis a bad look. It is a sport with manners and these players have none.

[@francisedward8713]

@Foudroyant20 They should. Without fans watching, there would be no money for them to earn in the first place. Like I said, tennis is a sport with manners. If you want to act a fool, go play literally ANY other sport. Tennis is unique in its sportsmanship and code of conduct.

[@Maliilse75]

@@francisedward8713 I'm with you on that. Good sportsmanship is why I tune into tennis. All eyes are on you, you become a model to millions of fans -so being a decent human being would be nice. Plus, there is no point in making personal enemies out of other players, that's messed up. Players should be able to separate the two, like most do. I think not being able to do that is quite immature.

[@francisedward8713]

@@Foudroyant20 What is your point exactly? And yes, they do get punishments...

[@daisdice]

Sorry just wondering because I don't know much about it but what has Zheng done?

[@francisedward8713]

@@daisdice Numerous players have said basically she's not friendly at all in the locker rooms and feel uncomfortable around her. Plus her on-court behaviour generally. With the latter there are far too many instances to name out, but you can look them up online.

[@pawshands9706]

Ugo was over the top tacky and arrogant. Sacha did tennis a kindness in the final😮

[@shorab1503]

I kind of really liked the fact he beat Carlos but his on court attitude has been disgraceful!!!! It gave a really bad impression of himself out there in front of the crowd. Being a rising star along with building up consistency in his game he needs to learn sportsmen ethics!!!!!!

[@cloba9414]

I always support French players-I love their flair and elegant style. It’s beautiful to watch, especially compared to Sinner’s hard-hitting approach. But I’m no longer a fan of Ugo. His recent behavior has been disappointing: celebrating double faults against Alcaraz, taking a medical timeout just before Jordan was about to serve and gain momentum, and showing poor sportsmanship against Karen. That’s not on.

[@philipcross8121]

Yes, I forgot about that incident with Jordan Thompson - very, very poor from Ugo Humbert.

[@Jetter638]

I'm with Karen here. Humbert's celebration was over the top. I'm so tired of this fist pumping after every point that's won. It's obnoxious and overdone.

[@a55tech]

bro celebratin like he won the tourney lol

[@Saperlipopette777]

Khachanov a raison, je suis français et j'encourage toujours les joueurs de tennis français, mais même si Humbert a joué d'une manière incroyable contre Alcaraz (et gagné "à la régulière" contre Khachanov), je n'ai jamais apprécié ses grognements forcés sur le court pendant les points, et j'ai trouvé que sa célébration de victoire face à Khachanov n'était pas très fairplay, d'autant qu'il conclut le match sur blessure. Il aurait pu serrer les mains de l'adversaire, de l'arbitre, puis revenir sur le court et célébrer sa victoire, comme la plupart des joueurs le font. Fils et Perricard n'auraient pas agi comme ça. C'est un manque de respect. C'est très mal élevé. Et ça gâche totalement sa victoire. Comme tous ces grognements face à Alcaraz. Du coup je n'étais pas mécontent de sa défaite en finale.

[@philipcross8121]

It was weird. Humbert has never behaved like this before and I've watched him since he was a teenager. The loud, exaggerated grunts, the fist pumps, the wild expressions and the sticking out of his tongue when he won matches were awful but so out of character for Humbert. Was he possessed by demons?!?!

[@Saperlipopette777]

@ yes, i think like you. it's a new (bad) way of winning...

[@fycfyc1]

French, what do you expect 🤷‍♂

[@iansmirna5183]

Ahahaha dear Trump supporter, give us freedom fries again

[@CH-yp5by]

Hugo was very disrespectful towards Karen, that behaviour was just disgraceful, classless and very unsporting. The game is not just about who wins its bigger than that and clearly thats lost on Hugo

[@kami6937]

I'm French and team Kachanov all the way. I'm appalled by our young tennismen's behavior, what are they even being taught at school? From Paire to Umber we've got only disgrace from disgrace. It's tiring!

[@ranrabi9381]

So happy Zverev destroyed him in the final. He is such an annoying person

[@syrupchichi7224]

Hugo Humbert is arrogant out of respect towards the other players, he has to mature and play the game with class and respet and celebrate if he wins after the game finishes and shake hands with the other player. Grow up Hugo Humbert.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

Wait, he said “hit while the guy’s on the ground”. Is he also mad because Ugo finished the point as he tended to his ankle injury? What was he supposed to do, this is a competition after all and the final is at stake, and it’s not like he ripped the ball at him. I mean, say someone retires from a match with an injury, do you give up the title or your spot in the next round until you can have a rematch? Sorry but that’s not how this works, this is a competition. He didn’t even do anything wrong😂 He was just saying “yeah” and “come on” in front of his people, and roaring when he made an amazing winner which is totally normal behavior. Shelton, Alcaraz, Nadal, Djokovic, etc… I think every player in the history of the sport uses the crowd that’s on their side to get pumped up, and Ugo was honestly pretty tame. I didn’t see him cheering Karen’s errors often or anything like that, just his own winners or, if Karen made an error, it was on a crucial point. Like, you can be happy when you are doing well on court. He was just upset that he was losing, which I understand, but it wasn’t anyone’s fault but his own🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nelsonvillam]

When you're on the court, you're the opponent to beat; if you are not healthy enough, step aside.

[@kami6937]

That doesn't change the fact that you have to be respectful to your opponent. Being a champion doesn't mean you have to be classless. That's the difference between some Federer, Nadal...and Imbert and Kyrgios

[@nelsonvillam]

@@kami6937 there are players faking injuries, that is why no players believes it is real

[@iansmirna5183]

Kachanov has a selective memory: he seems to forget his own behaviour against Korda in AO 2023. No wonder why he's called Karen...

[@SB-nv2mj]

Zheng is unnecessary

[@Lepitu]

If he was injured, then he should have stopped. What was Khachanov expecting ? That Humbert also injured himself ? That Humbert should be kinder to him, not playing so fast, not so hard, not making him running from side to side ? Come on, those are grown up men, if he was not at he's 100% he should have stopped playing, but no Khachanov was expecting the imposible to win (like Humbert retire...). Saying that Humbert celeration were too effusive is just an excuse... Like he says if he was on the ground he should have stopped playing..

[@SnapScaper]

Wow, what a Karen.

[@doragreen3887]

He won and he’s not supposed to celebrate? Karen needs to worry about what he can control not what his opponent is doing imo.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

Thank you!!! When did it become so that tennis players can’t show any emotions on court and must be cold robots, to the point that they must suppress the most innocent and honest reaction of all, joy in one’s own success? And even more importantly for Ugo, this was in his own country, in front of his own people, so it was a million times more important!!! Sorry, but I don’t want to watch a sport like that, one where there’s no passion involved.
