Tennis star Ugo Humbert forgets to bring rackets to Wimbledon match
Frenchman was supposed to play against third seed Casper Ruud
Ugo Humbert had 90 minutes to fill before his delayed Wimbledon match against Casper Ruud on Wednesday but it still wasn't enough to pack properly as he turned up at Number Two Court missing a vital piece of equipment — a tennis racket.
The Frenchman had been forced to wait to face the third seed due to rain but as the umpire called the players to begin their knock-up, despite coming on court carrying a massive red bag, the 24-year-old sheepishly admitted: "I don't have any rackets — sorry for that."
ALSO READ:
Humbert's embarrassment did not last long as somebody appeared within a couple of minutes clutching three rackets.
Perhaps the confusion impacted his concentration as he lost the first set before coming back strongly to win the second-round match 3-6 6-2 7-5 6-4.
