PARIS – Jannik Sinner defeated Francisco Cerundro 7-5, 6-1 in the third round of the Paris Masters on Thursday, extending his indoor winning streak to 23 matches and maintaining his chances of reclaiming the top spot.<\/p>\n

The four-time Grand Slam champion needs to win a tournament to take over the top spot from Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner’s quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be Ben Shelton.<\/p>\n

The fifth-seeded American defeated 12th-seeded Andrei Rublev 7-6 (6), 6-3 to qualify for the season-ending eight-a-side ATP Finals in Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n

Sinner is aiming for his fifth title this year and 23rd overall. He won the ATP 500 tournament in Vienna last Sunday despite suffering from cramps.<\/p>\n

“I hope I can recover physically, but that’s my number one priority,” Sinner said ahead of his eighth fight against Shelton. “Today was a great game and a great performance for me.”<\/p>\n

He leads Shelton at 6-1 overall.<\/p>\n

Later on Thursday, defending champion Alexander Zverev faced Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.<\/p>\n

Vashlot continues to advance<\/hl2> There seems to be no stopping Valentin Bachelot, who defeated Cameron Norrie 7-6(4), 6-4 to advance to the Masters quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Already this month, Bashro made a spectacular escape from qualifying and won the Shanghai Masters, clinching the first title of his career. He defeated 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the semifinals and his cousin Arthur Rinderknecke in the final.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t expecting it at all,” Vashlot said. “I’m glad I keep coming here, maybe I’m enjoying the games more than in Shanghai.”<\/p>\n

The 40th-ranked Bachelot, from Monaco, defeated Rinderkneck again in the second round here in Paris, setting up a fight with Nolley after the British fighter eliminated Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

Bashro hit five aces and saved all five break points against Norrie, who dropped serve once.<\/p>\n

Bachelot will next face No. 9 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who defeated Daniel Altmaier 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. The victory kept Auger-Aliassime’s chances of advancing to the final eight-a-side tournament of the season, the ATP Finals, to be held in Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n

Other matches<\/hl2> Fourth seed Taylor Fritz of the United States lost to 13th seed Alexander Bublik 7-6 (5), 6-2. No. 6 Alex de Minaur defeated 2018 champion Karen Khachanov 6-2, 6-2. And 2020 champion Daniil Medvedev advanced to his 25th Masters quarterfinal with a 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 victory over Lorenzo Sonego.<\/p>\n

race to turin<\/hl2> De Minaur qualified for the ATP Finals for the second straight season and Shelton for the first time, with one spot remaining.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime will only leapfrog Lorenzo Musetti if he reaches the final in Paris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
