Overview
- Alexander Zverev defeated Daniil Medvedev 2:6, 6:3, 7:6 (7:5) after saving two match points to reach the Paris Masters semifinal.
- The result ended his run of five consecutive losses to Medvedev, helped by tactical shifts that brought Zverev forward to blunt long rallies.
- Zverev took a hard fall late in the first set that caused a brief scare but continued without apparent limitation.
- Jannik Sinner advanced earlier by beating Ben Shelton 6:3, 6:3, while Félix Auger-Aliassime faces Alexander Bublik in the other semifinal.
- Both Sinner and Zverev are already qualified for the ATP Finals in Turin, and Sinner would return to world No. 1 if he wins Paris.
