France has always been home to some of the best tennis players the world has ever seen. The likes of Rene Lacoste, Suzanne Lenglen, Gael Monfils and Jo Wilfred Tsonga are just some of the names that have made an incredible impact on the sport. One bright prospect who seems to be rising through the ranks and on course to making a name for himself in French tennis is Ugo Humbert.
