There will only be sixteen left to compete for the title this Thursday. Without Jannik Sinner, forfeited for an “intestinal virus”, Daniil Medvedev, eliminated in the second round, or Novak Djokovic, who skipped the tournament, the Rolex Paris Masters is particularly undecided. Despite everything, Carlos Alcaraz remains the favorite. Qualified since Tuesday for the round of 16, the Spaniard faces French No. 1 Ugo Humbert in the round of 16. Both men will be entitled to the start of the night session, from 7 p.m., on the main court.
Arthur Rinderknech is also entitled to the “night session”. It will be against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov, seeded n°8, not before 8:30 p.m. Finally, Adrian Mannarino, Arthur Cazaux and Arthur Fils are on the program this Thursday. The first challenges Jordan Thompson, who defeated Casper Ruud on Tuesday evening, while the second challenges the 13th seed Holger Rune. The youngest of the bunch awaits the number 3 seed, Alexander Zverev.
