Humbert rallied past the tournament’s No. 12 Mats Moraing of Germany 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2. The top seed from Metz withstood 15 aces, breaking his opponent’s serve four times to seal victory in two hours and two minutes.

After missing one year on the tour due to injury, Darcis could clinch his first title since lifting the trophy in Bordeaux 2017.
