He is set to face Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals and mentioned in an interview with Progrès that he is still considering whether to continue his career past 2027.

Herbert has had a successful career in doubles, winning four Grand Slam titles with Nicolas Mahut, including two Roland-Garros championships. He also claimed the ATP Finals in 2019 and 2021 and helped France win the Davis Cup in 2017.

Herbert's singles achievements

In singles, Herbert has reached four ATP finals and once held a world ranking of 36th. Although he is currently ranked around 290th, his victory over Báez showed he can still compete with higher-ranked players.
