Humbert who is ranked 42nd and was the number one seed in the tournament lost out in a 7-6, 6-4 defeat and this means that Sock reaches the third round at Indian Wells.
He has already moved up to #660 in the world after being down at #768 at the start of the week and next up will be another seed in Evgeny Donskoy (#13) after he downed Kaichi Uchida in the first round.
It all comes after he claimed his first win in over a year recently on the ATP Tour against Radu Albot at the Delray Beach Open and after so many injury worries, he will hope this could be a turning point.
