Humbert's peculiar statistics against top players with 60% win rate against top five and 50% against top 10

France’s tennis star Ugo Humbert has interesting numbers in his relatively young career, something that is not common in the sport.

It is often claimed that facing the very best is the most difficult part in any spot but that is not the case when it comes to the 25-year-old.

Humbert has the highest win percentage while facing the top-five players in his career which is 60 percent.

After that, his second-best winning percentage is against the players in the top-10 which is roughly around 50 percent.

Interestingly, from there on, his winning percentage went down significantly against the top 20, top 50 and top 100 players where he won 47.3, 42.7 and 43.6 percent of his matches.

The Metz-born is currently taking part in the China Open where he has qualified for the quarterfinal of the event after beating Russia’s Andrey Rublev in the round of 16 with a score of 5-7, 6-3, 7-6. He is now set to face off against Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the last-eight of the tournament.

Despite his impressive numbers against the top-10 players, Humbert has a pretty average record while playing in the Grand Slams. Till now, he has never played in the quarterfinal of any mega-event.

His best outing in any of the mega-events came in 2019 when he played in the fourth round of the French Open and lost to Serbia’s Novak Djokovic with a score of 6-3, 6-2, 6-3.
