France's top tennis player Ugo Humbert lost to the second seed Alexander Zverev in four sets on Sunday to leave Gael Monfils as the only French player at the Australian Open.
Zverev beat Humbert 6-2, 6-2 to claim the Paris Masters last November and the 27-year-old German was as rapacious in the initial exchanges in the John Cain Arena at Melbourne Park to sweep through the opening set of their fourth round tie 6-1 in 27 minutes.
