Frenchman Ugo Humbert produced one of the performances of his career to claim a shock victory over world No 2 Carlos Alcaraz and reach the Rolex Paris Masters quarter-finals. Humbert was backed by an energetic home crowd during his 6-1 3-6 7-5 victory over the four-time Grand Slam winner, where he booked a quarter-final meeting with Australia's Jordan Thompson.
Alex de Minaur also boosted his own chances of qualifying by coming back from a set down to beat Jack Draper 5-7 6-2 6-4, ending the Brit's hopes of a maiden ATP Finals appearance in the process. Draper would have needed to win in the French capital this week and then follow it up with another strong week at a smaller event next week, but he came unstuck in his seventh match in eight days.
