Humbert knocks out Alcaraz to join Zverev and Tsitsipas in Paris Masters quarterfinals
Frenchman Ugo Humbert harnessed the energy of the home crowd and produced one of his best career performances in beating Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 to reach the quarterfinals of the Paris Masters. A flurry of winners had Alcaraz 5-0 down in a first set so one-sided that Alcaraz ironically waved his racket to the crowd after holding in the sixth game.
