Carlos Alcaraz has secured a place in the quarter-finals of the Rolex Paris Masters without competing on court. His third-round opponent, Matteo Berrettini, withdrew from the match due to ongoing arm pain. This withdrawal grants Alcaraz a direct passage to the next stage of the ATP Masters 1000 event.
Alcaraz is aiming for his fifth tour-level title of the 2026 season in Paris. He will face either French player Arthur Fils or American Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals. Fils recently qualified for the ATP Finals, while Fritz still has a chance to qualify if he can reach the semi-finals.
Berrettini announced his withdrawal on Instagram stories, stating he would undergo further tests to understand the extent of his arm issue. Alcaraz, who has already qualified for the ATP Finals, holds a strong 39-5 record for the season, having won four titles this year.
