Spanish Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz faces off against Frenchman Ugo Humbert in the round of 16 at the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000. The match is set to commence at 19:00 on Thursday, October 31, 2024.
Alcaraz, currently ranked number 2 in the world, will take on Humbert, who is the highest-rated player from France and occupies the 18th spot in the rankings. Humbert advanced to this stage by defeating Marcos Giron in the second round with a decisive scoreline of 6-3, 6-2, displaying dominance with winning shots in under an hour, buoyed by local support. Humbert has proven to be a formidable competitor on indoor courts, boasting ten consecutive victories, including triumphs in Metz and Marseille.
This will be the third encounter between Humbert and Alcaraz, with Alcaraz winning both previous matches, held at Wimbledon and this year’s Davis Cup. Alcaraz, fresh from a day’s rest after his win over Chilean Nicolás Jarry, will be looking to secure his spot in the quarter-finals. There, he could potentially meet the winner of the clash between Jordan Thompson and Adrian Mannarino. Moreover, Alcaraz’s path to the final could be eased by the elimination of potential rival Daniil Medvedev.
