The tennis era is currently undergoing a swift change and gone are the times when the Big 3 used to dominate the tennis courts. Young stars from around the world have taken charge and are now taking the world by storm. One among those is Ugo Humbert, a rising French star, who is doing wonders in the Monte Carlo Masters. While his on-court pursuits are very well evident to the tennis enthusiasts, what many might know of is his personal life.

That being said, the one question that surrounds the rising French prodigy is about his parents. Who they are? What do they do? Let’s find out about the not-so-known personal life of the young rising kid.

Ugo Humbert’s parents are butchers and his father made him fall in love with tennis

Apparently, Ugo Humbert’s parents do not have a tennis background, unlike other players. He had to make his way into the tennis world out on his own, courtesy to his father. His father’s name is Eric Humbert while his mother’s name is Anne Humbert. Talking about their occupation, they are butchers who have their own renowned shop in Metz, France.

Interestingly, Humbert has a sister named Lea Humbert and she is the manager of the butcher shop that has been operated successfully since the year 1922. Talking about his love for tennis, it all came to him because of his father. He was a key pillar in his ever-growing tennis journey. It is said that when he was a young kid, he used to watch his father play the sport which made him fall in love with the game.
