Dawn · AFP ·
Fritz stayed in the running for a place at the ATP Finals by beating French sixth seed Fils to set up a quarter-final against Carlos Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz moved into the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters on Thursday after his last 16 opponent Matteo Berrettini withdrew.
Alcaraz, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, was scheduled to play the Italian, but Berrettini pulled out ahead of their encounter with an elbow injury.
“Unfortunately, the pain in my arm that I’ve been putting up with for the past few days means I won’t be able to take to the court tonight,” Berrettini posted on social media.
