“It feels good. It was not my best match this week, but I still have the win so I’m very proud of that,” said Humbert. “It was not easy. I had difficulties in the second set, but in the end, I found the solution and stayed calm. I’m into my seventh ATP Tour final, so I’m very happy.
“It was not easy, because he didn’t allow a lot of rhythm... At the end of the second set, I tried to speak to myself a little bit. After, the last four games were amazing.”
Fils survived set points in the opening stanza of his tie against Rune before he finally prevailed in the first set. He led in the second set going 5-4 up. He continued to lead without no sniff of a break and he prevailed in a prolonged tie-break 12-10.
