Entertainment is sometimes where you least expect it. While tennis fans were waiting for the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Gaël Monfils in Miami, which turned out to be one-sided, Pierre-Hugues Herbert made the bold choice by saving seven match points in a first round trap in Naples (Challenger), facing nobody Raul Brancaccio.
The Frenchman, now 160th in the world, got off to a very bad start in his match against the Italian to the point of losing the first round 6-3 and finding himself on the edge of the precipice on multiple occasions, without ever giving in. Between luck (dropped smash at the net, smash on the line) and mischief (spoon serve), P2H outdid itself to stay alive.

Herbert finally won the second set 7-5, which finally dampened the morale of the Italian, who ended up swinging the last set 6-0. As someone else would say: the French mind has changed.
