Day Two Paris Masters 2025 Round 64 and 32 Results

Round 64

Round 32

Key matches

Felix Auger-Aliassime def. Francisco Comesana 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-3

Felix Auger-Aliassime kept his ATP Finals hopes alive with a comeback win over Argentine qualifier Francisco Comesana

The Canadian, currently ranked ninth in the ATP Live Race To Turin, trailed by one set but dominated the second without dropping a point after the first serve and overpowered his opponent from that point onwards.

Joao Fonseca def. Denis Shapovalov 5-7, 6-4, 6-3

Joao Fonseca backed up his Basel ATP 500 title with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 comeback victory over Denis Shapovalov in his Paris Masters debut.

Fonseca faced Shapo during his Basel title run, and this match was quite similar with Fonseca showing that he hit from both wings and overcame some sort of hip problem. He will next face 10th seed Karen Khachanov.

Daniel Medvedev def. Jaume Munar 6-1, 6-3

Daniil Medvedev produced one of his best performances in a while, recording a 6-1, 6-3 dismantling of Jaume Munar. The 2020 Paris champion next faces Grigor Dimitrov in the second round, who I think he will win comfortably.

Valentin Vacherot did it. Jiri Lehecka 6-1, 6-3

Shanghai champion Valentin Vacherot continued his form with a dominant 6-1, 6-3 upset of Jiri Lehecka, setting up a second-round rematch with his cousin Arthur Rinderknech.

Vacherot defeated Rinderknech in three sets to win the Shanghai title earlier this month as the lowest-ranked Masters 1000 champion in history, overwhelming the Czech with depth and precision to record a statement win.

Cameron Norrie def. Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-3, 6-4

Cameron Norrie stunned world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to take his first ever victory over a world No. 1 player in five attempts.

The British left-hander took advantage of a wildly erratic performance from Alcaraz, who committed 54 unforced errors.

I thought Carlos started out okay, but his level collapsed as the game went on, and he struggled with timing, footwork and baseline rhythm.

A big part of that is Norrie’s game, killing the rhythm as his topspin forehand kicked up off the Paris court, while his flat backhand gave the Spaniard little to work with. It is the huge variation between punches, along with his fitness/never give up attitude, that has led him to win 3 of the 8 meetings against Carlos.
