VIDEO: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina rushes to help Ugo Humbert amid horror injury in front of home crowd

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina demonstrated impeccable sportsmanship by being the first to rush over and console Humbert after he injured himself during their match.

As he was rushing to get a ball, Humbert took a fall and injured himself badly unable to get back up to his feet immediately.

Fokina rushed over quickly and consoled his friend until the physio arrived. They have known each other since they were kids and Fokina said after the match:

I hope that he will recover and play the next week.”
