2026 Rolex Paris Masters

The match went three sets: Van Assche won the first, lost the second in a tie-break and took the decider 7-5. Tennis Majors lists a duration of two hours and 45 minutes; the result agrees with Eurosport’s scorecard.

Van Assche was the last French player remaining in singles, according to Le Parisien’s quarter-final preview. His victory takes him into the final four of the Paris tournament.

The qualification marks another step in his run; it does not establish the outcome of the semi-final.

The French Tennis Federation reported a match lasting two hours and 38 minutes and described it as his first Masters 1000 quarter-final berth. Musetti had eliminated Alexander Zverev in the previous round, a development already covered in this dossier.

The other French players in the day’s last-16 matches lost to Americans: Arthur Fils to Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-4; Arthur Rinderknech to Ben Shelton 3-6, 6-4, 7-6; and Quentin Halys to Tommy Paul 7-6, 6-4. The FFT report and Corriere dello Sport’s Italian results table agree on these scores.

The FFT report lists Rinky Hijikata as Van Assche’s next opponent. That match had yet to be played.

The Italian won the opening set in a tiebreak before taking a clear advantage in the second. The victory sends him into the last 16 of the Paris Masters 1000, played indoors on hard courts.

Musetti is due to face France’s Luca Van Assche, who beat Learner Tien 7-6, 6-4. According to Tennis Majors and Italpress, Musetti now leads Zverev four wins to two in their meetings. The top seed’s elimination ends his run in this event; these results do not announce a change at the top of the world rankings.

According to the French Tennis Federation, Shelton finished the match in one hour and 11 minutes. That evening, Casper Ruud defeated Rafael Jodar by the same score in one hour and 18 minutes, the organiser reported.

In the first round, Novak Djokovic came from behind to beat Valentin Vacherot 6-7(5), 7-5, 6-1, TennisActu reported. These matches belong to different rounds of the draw. The evening also featured a tribute ceremony for Gaël Monfils, joined by Richard Gasquet, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon among others.

The opening two sets went to tie-breaks before Humbert prevailed in the decider. The result is recorded in the tournament draw and international score listings.

The 2024 Paris finalist was returning after missing the 2025 edition through injury, according to the organisers. He has cleared his opening hurdle at the indoor hard-court tournament; the win establishes no outcome for his subsequent matches.

The Serbian, a seven-time winner of the tournament, has no first-round bye. Other opening matches include Musetti–Hurkacz and Paul–Rune.

Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz are in opposite halves of the draw. Potential later meetings depend on results in preceding rounds: the draw establishes opponents and possible paths, without determining who will advance.
