Ugo Humbert's three-year reign as Auckland Open champion came to an end on Tuesday as Christopher Eubanks defeated the Frenchman 7-6 7-6 with sixth-seeded American John Isner also exiting the tournament in the first round.
"I was playing some pretty good balls throughout the course of the match and I think being comfortable and playing a lot of tiebreakers in a lot of my games showed a pretty good effect today, so I'm pretty happy," said Eubanks. The day opened with Isner, a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 2018, crashing out when he lost in three sets to Gregoire Barrere.
Eubanks will next face Belgium's David Goffin while Barrere meets fellow Frenchman Constant Lestienne in the second round.
