Overview
- Matteo Berrettini, who saved two match points Tuesday, beat Brandon Nakashima 6-4 3-6 7-6(8) to reach the Paris Masters second round.
- He delivered a dominant serving display with 17 aces, roughly 76% first serves in and about 88% of first‑serve points won, numbers cited by match reports as evidence he can press for a Davis Cup spot.
- Berrettini is scheduled to face Ugo Humbert in the second round on Thursday, November 5, with court and time to be confirmed.
- Casper Ruud’s straight‑sets win over Rafael Jodar made Flavio Cobolli’s qualification for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin mathematically certain, allowing Cobolli to skip Paris and recover from a left‑thigh problem.
- The Paris Masters is the last Masters 1000 of the season and its results are finalizing places for the ATP Finals in Turin from November 15–22, with Cobolli joining a growing list of confirmed qualifiers.
