He upset the No. 6 player in the world, Alexander Zverev, and the No. 7 player, Andrey Rublev, on his way to winning his third career title at the 2021 Halle tournament. He went on a 13-match winning streak on French indoor hard courts, winning titles at the 2023 Metz and 2024 Marseille tournaments. During this streak, he achieved one of the biggest wins of his career by defeating the No. 2 player, Carlos Alcaraz, in the third round and reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final at the 2024 Paris tournament. Previously, Humbert won his first ATP title at the age of 21 at the 2020 Auckland tournament and saved four match points against Daniel Evans to win his second title at the 2020 Antwerp tournament.

Additionally, Humbert has had success in the Challenger circuit. In 2022, he defeated former World No. 3 player Dominic Thiem to win his seventh Challenger title at the Rennes tournament. In May 2023, he won his eighth and ninth Challenger titles at the Cagliari and Bordeaux tournaments within three weeks.
