Ben Shelton defeated Ugo Humbert 6(3)-7(7), 6-3, 6-4 — Washington Open 2026 R16.
Ugo Humbert and Ben Shelton: Ben Shelton leads 2–0 across 2 recorded meetings.
Break points decided it. Ben Shelton converted 3 of 8 to Ugo Humbert's 1 of 6 and gave almost nothing back, saving 5 of 6 and holding 15 of 16 service games. Humbert won the opener on serve alone, taking 88 percent of first-serve points and striking six of his seven aces before the tiebreak went his way. It bought him exactly one set. The ATP No. 29 broke for 3-3 in game 6 of the third, but the No. 2 seed answered in game 9 for 5-4 and served it out, 2 hours and 24 minutes in. The win makes Shelton 2-0 in meetings on record against Humbert and books a Washington Open quarterfinal with No. 30 Alejandro Tabilo.
