VARIOUS OF AUGER-ALIASSIME CELEBRATING AND SHAKING HANDS WITH MULLER STORY: Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are through to the last 16 of the Paris Masters after winning their matches on Wednesday (October 29) while Casper Ruud crashed out, ending his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin next month. Sinner dismissed his opponent Zizou Bergs in straight sets running out a 6-4 6-2 winner in one hour and 29 minutes. Sinner beat Zverev in the Vienna Open final on Sunday but the German has bounced back and is into the third round after he defeated Camilo Ugo Carabelli. It took him three sets though after losing an opening tiebreaker but he won the next set 6-1 before closing out the match 7-5 in the third. Norway's Ruud is currently ninth in the world rankings and he needed to go deep in this tournament to make the top 9 and qualify for the season finale. It wasn't to be, as Daniel Altmaier won 6-3 7-5 to end Ruud's hopes. Monaco's Valentin Vacherot served up another helping of family drama, beating his French cousin Arthur Rinderknech 6-7(9) 6-3 6-4 to advance to the last-16 in their second Masters showdown this month. Russia’s Daniil Medvedev is through after he was given a walkover when Grigor Dimitrov withdrew with a shoulder injury. (Production: Simon Ormiston)
