He achieved this milestone shortly after winning the Dubai tournament, becoming the third player in the Open Era to win their sixth ATP Tour title in their sixth final, alongside Gulbis and Klizan.
Throughout his career, Humbert has had several significant accomplishments. At the 2021 Halle tournament, he upset Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev, two top-ranked players, en route to winning his third career title. He has also captured his fourth and fifth ATP Tour titles on French soil, specifically in his hometown of Metz in 2023 and Marseille in 2024. Additionally, when he was 21 years old, Humbert won his first ATP Tour title in Auckland in 2020, making him the youngest French champion since Gasquet in 2007. He also showed resilience in saving four match points against Daniel Evans on his way to winning his second ATP Tour title in Antwerp in the same year.
Humbert’s record against the top 10 players stands at 12-16. His most significant victory came against the former world number 2, Daniil Medvedev, at the 2022 ATP Cup. Furthermore, he defeated the former world number 3, Dominic Thiem, 6-3, 6-0, to win his seventh Challenger title at the 2022 Rennes tournament. In May 2023, Humbert added two more Challenger titles to his name, winning in Cagliari and Bordeaux within a span of three weeks.
It is worth noting that Humbert is currently on a nine-match winning streak on French indoor hard courts.

On the other side, Marcos Giron is a 31-year-old American tennis player currently ranked world number 49, with a career-high ranking of number 37 achieved in August 2024. Giron won his first ATP Tour title at the Newport tournament, saving one match point in the final. He is one of three former UCLA Bruins to break into the top 50 during the 2022 season, alongside Cressy and McDonald.
Giron’s journey to his first ATP Tour final took place at the age of 29 in his home state of California at the 2022 San Diego tournament. He has also qualified for 11 ATP Masters 1000 events, including the 2023 Toronto tournament, where he achieved his biggest win over Holger Rune in the second round.
Notably, Giron showed great resilience at the 2021 Roland Garros, rallying from a 6-2, 6-4, 5-1 deficit and saving three match points against Dimitrov in the first round to reach the third round. Prior to his professional career, Giron won the 2014 NCAA singles title for UCLA. He broke into the top 100 rankings in 2020 after undergoing hip surgeries on both his right and left hips in 2015 and 2016, respectively.
In terms of Giron’s performance in 2024, he has a win-loss record of 27-25 and has claimed the Newport title. Despite a 4-11 record against top 20 players this season, he aims to earn his first win against a top 20 opponent since defeating Andrey Rublev in the Halle tournament’s first round in June. Additionally, Giron has previously reached the third round in Paris twice in his four appearances and hopes to replicate or exceed that performance once again.
