Kubler is now a Grand Slam winner, having claimed the doubles title in his home even of the Australian Open with partner Rinky Hijikata in January.
However, it was at Wimbledon last year when he achieved his best singles result in a major, reaching the fourth round before eventually losing to Taylor Fritz in straight sets.
This year, to date, his best results on grass have come on the Challenger tour. He reached the quarter-finals in Surbiton before losing to Andy Murray, and then won the event in Ilkley, beating the Austrian Sebastian Ofner in the final.
His ventures on to the main tour have been less successful. He was beaten by Humbert in the first round in Rosmalen, and at the same stage in Mallorca by another Frenchman Constant Lestienne.
