Marseille Open 2025: Humbert beats Medjedovic in final, secures back-to-back titles
France’s Ugo Humbert successfully defended his Marseille ATP title on Sunday, securing a seventh career crown with a straight-sets defeat of Hamad Medjedovic in the final.
The second seed came through 7-6 (7/4), 6-4 against his 96th-ranked opponent to extend his record on indoor hard courts in his own country to 18-1.
That run also included the title in Metz in 2023 as well as a run to the Paris Masters final last year, where the left-hander lost to Alexander Zverev.
“I didn’t know him well and he was very, very good,” said 26-year-old Humbert of his opponent on Sunday.
“I am very happy to retain my title here. I am very proud too, because I was a little nervous at the start of the tournament. It means a lot to win in France.”
Medjedovic, the 2023 ATP NextGen champion, was chasing his first tour-level title.
