APPLAUSE FROM STANDS STORY: There isn't much Jannik Sinner has yet to achieve as a young tennis phenom, but on Thursday (October 30) he sewed up a new first by advancing to the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters. The number two seed played for the second straight day following a first-round bye and defeated Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo 7-5, 6-1. For context, Sinner has reached the quarter-finals at least once at every other ATP Masters 1000 tournament, including wins in Miami, Canada, Cincinnati and Shanghai. He is now the first Italian player to reach the quarters at all nine current 1000-level events. In the first set against Cerundolo, Sinner went up by a break twice but lost the ensuing game each time. His opponent drew even at 4-4 and held serve until Sinner pulled out the final three points of the 12th game to escape a 30-15 deficit. Because of Carlos Alcaraz's surprise loss in his opening match in Paris, Sinner can reclaim the world number one ranking from the Spaniard if he wins in Paris. Sinner set up a quarter-final showdown with fifth-seeded Ben Shelton, who qualified for his first ATP Finals when he finished off number 12 seed Andrey Rublev of Russia 7-6(6), 6-3. In other action, number three seed Alexander Zverev of Germany breezed past 15-seeded Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain, 6-2, 6-4.  And 11 seed Daniil Medvedev beat Italian Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 to advance.  (Production: Kurt Michael Hall)
