Carlos Alcaraz defeated: what a mockery for Jannik Sinner

After the surprise forfeit of Jannik Sinner, è came another twist at the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000. In the match worth the round of 16, in fact, Carlos Alcaraz è was defeated and eliminated from the tournament by home favorite Ugo Humbert, who è won in three sets with a score of 6-1 3-6 7-5.

The Spaniard's unexpected knockout, in addition, could also have a decidedly important impact for Jannik Sinner in view of the Nitto ATP Finals, as the Spaniard could be overtaken in the rankings by Alexander Zverev, making the draw for the South Tyrolean ahead of the masters tournament in Turin even tougher.

Should the Teutonic hit the final in the last Masters 1000 of the season, in fact, the Murcian would climb to third in favor of the German, who would arrive at the ATP Finals as the number two seed.

The relegation to third for Carlos Alcaraz would also mean ending up in the same group as Jannik Sinner in Turin and not a possible meeting in the semifinals or finals as scheduled.

The South Tyrolean, therefore, may have to deal with a real round of iron, since on his side of the draw, in addition to his Spanish rival, could also end up Novak Djokovic, whose participation in the Nitto ATP Finals would still be an unknown.
