Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic advanced to the quarterfinals of the Masters tournament in Paris without a fight. The world number one was facilitated by the health problems of the home Gaël Monfils, who resigned before the duel due to a muscle injury. Nor Casper Ruud secured the Champions Tournament as the seventh player thanks to a smooth victory over the American Marcos Giron.
Hubert Hurkacz improved in the game for the last vacancy in Paris. The seventh seeded Polish tennis player turned the match around with the German Dominik Koepfer and after winning 4: 6, 7: 5, 6: 2 he can still hope to participate in Turin. Hurkacz jumped into the eighth place in the eighth place of the Italian Jannik Sinner, who was eliminated in the 2nd round.
The chances vanished to the eleventh British Cameron Norrie, who today succumbed to the American Taylor Fritz, and to the twelfth Félix Auger-Alliasim from Canada, who was not enough for Koepfer in the second round. The tenth man of the season, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, has already finished the season.
