Paris Masters QF: Ugo Humbert staged a stunning third-round upset of Carlos Alcaraz. The home favourite prevailed 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 in a richly entertaining encounter to book a quarterfinal spot at his home ATP Masters 1000.

Humbert’s two-hour, 17-minute win was the joint-biggest of his career by PIF ATP Ranking, equalling his victory against then-No. 2 Daniil Medvedev at the 2022 ATP Cup.

"I’m just super proud of myself that I did it. It was a crazy match, a crazy atmosphere. Maybe my last in Bercy (before the tournament moves to a new venue from next year), so I tried to do everything tonight. It was a really big match," said Humbert.
