The Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, number 2 in the world, was thrilled for over eight years in the final of the Masters 1000 of Paris, a quote that did not let him down, losing to the Frenchman Ugo Humbert, 18th in the ATP rankings.

The young Murcian of 21 years, who played in Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year, was on the highest technical slope in three sets, 6-1, 3-6 and 7-5, on the Bercy-Pabellón.

Alcaraz, who sent the martyrs to the Chilean Nicolás Jarry in his first edition of this edition, has not achieved the good results at the Masters 1000 of Paris, having now survived the final marks in four participants.

After this new disappointment, Alcaraz tended to focus on the last two years of the year, on the temporary ATP Masters final in Turin (Italy, November 10-17) and the “Final 8” of the Copa Davis in Málaga (Spain). 19th-24th November). Most recently, I sent it to the tennis professional Rafa Nadal.

In the first youth game, Alcaraz won a draw 6-1 after 26 minutes.

The Spanish, the last representative of his country in the four-border area, despairs in the second manga, who had to set off a much longer time ago before he experienced spectacular experiences. In an electric environment in favor of the local Jugador, Humbert stopped the pulse after more than two hours.

“It was a great organ of what he lied about. He had a place he was in that had an impressive atmosphere. “He luchado por cada punto,” summed up Humbert. “Confié en mis posibilidades en los momentos clave y logré ahí grandes golpes,” celebró.

Humbert became an opponent in the final of the Masters 1000 Paris against the Australian Jordan Thompson (28th).

A French tenist decided to announce the camp in this goal after leaving Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2008.

Paris-Bercy was also a player without Argentine representative in the four pack, by the defeat in this round of 16 of the Argentine quarter Francisco Cerúndolo (29th) before the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (11th), with 6-7 (1/7), 6 -4 and 6-2.

Tsitsipas, who had a number of chances to win at the Masters in Turin, reached a semi-final against the German Alexander Zverev (3rd place) and won 6:4, 3:6 and 6:3 against one of today’s representatives Lisa, the Frenchman Arthur Fils (20º).

On the central slope of Bercy, Tsistipas was not well received as he closed the first set 7-1 against Cerúndolo in a single-round tie-break.

The Greek, who had left Cerúndolo in three sets during their previous friendly, in Basilea in October, opted for the second set as he started Argentina’s duty in third place.

In the end, Tsitsipas won 1-1, and that moment was just one game.

With three boletos in play for the Masters final, Helena’s rivals from Melena Rubia, Novak Djokovic, Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud or Tommy Paul are eliminated or have not reached Paris.

But other applicants with the best positions in their careers, such as Alex de Minaur and Grigor Dimitrov, have also settled in Bercy.

Cerúndolo was the Argentine representative who suffered the most in Bercy a year ago. Before defeating Sebastián Báez, Mariano Navone and Tomás Etcheverry.
