Overview
- Following Tuesday's dramatic tie-break, Matteo Berrettini beat Brandon Nakashima 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(8) after saving two match points to reach the Paris Masters second round.
- Berrettini relied on a dominant serve, logging 17 aces with roughly 76% first serves in and winning about 88% of his points on the first serve to win a match that lasted about two hours and ten minutes.
- He is scheduled to face Ugo Humbert in the second round on Thursday, November 5, with court and exact time still to be set.
- Casper Ruud's Paris win over Rafael Jodar on Tuesday ensured that Flavio Cobolli, who skipped the Paris draw to manage a left-thigh problem, has mathematically qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin.
- The Paris Masters is the last Masters 1000 of the season and these results are shaping final Turin lineups and may influence Italy's Davis Cup selections as captains weigh recent form.
