The 2024 Paris Masters has been nothing short of exceptional so far. Day four of the event presented some fierce matches in the singles competition as players fought for a place in the quarterfinals in Bercy.
Tenth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his excellent start to the event with a comeback win against Francisco Cerundolo in the third round. He outfoxed the Argentine in two hours and 23 minutes, 6-7(1), 6-4, 6-2.
Meanwhile, third seed Alexander Zverev also avenged his defeat against Arthur Fils. The German had missed out against the Frenchman in Hamburg, but made no mistake this time around by conquering him in three-sets 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. He will now take on the Greek Tsitsipas for a place in the semifinals on Friday.
Swiss Indoors runner-up Ben Shelton was stunned by local favorite Arthur Cazaux in the second round. Despite a valiant effort against the Frenchman, Cazaux outmuslced him in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6(4).
World No. 9 Grigor Dimitrov and Alex De Minaur also kept their title hopes alive in the Paris Masters. While De Minaur outfoxed Jack Draper in three-sets, Dimitrov is poised to take on Arthur Rinderknech in the third round. Both players will be determined to make a significant impact this year with a place in the ATP Finals on the line. With Andrey Rublev's early exit at the event, they have a great chance to secure their spot in Turin.
