Tennis in California – there are worse places to be. But a Frenchman is still not satisfied.
“Tennis Paradise” – with this slogan Tommy Haas advertises as tournament director of the Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells. But when it comes to food, some tennis pros don’t feel like they’re in paradise. That’s why the Frenchman Ugo Humbert, ranked 19th in the world, has taken his own chef with him.
“In the US, I have problems with the food. I’m talking about the quality. When you go to a restaurant and get plastic salads, for example, I always end up with a stomach ache,” the Frenchman said in an interview with L’Équipe. Humbert is gluten-intolerant, according to his own statement, and therefore particularly careful when eating.
