Vacherot Beats Norrie, Extends Masters Streak to 10

Valentin Vacherot beat Cameron Norrie 7-6(7-4), 6-4 to reach the Paris Masters quarter-finals, extending his Masters 1000 winning streak to 10 matches. Fresh from winning the Shanghai Masters as a qualifier — where he defeated Novak Djokovic and his cousin Arthur Rinderknech — Vacherot has risen from world No. 204 to around No. 40 and became the lowest-ranked Masters champion in history. He saved all five break points he faced in Paris and converted the only break of the match; he will face ninth-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime or Daniel Altmaier in the last eight. Jannik Sinner also advanced, beating Francisco Cerundolo to extend his indoor winning streak to 23 matches and keeping alive a chance to reclaim the world No. 1 ranking if he wins the tournament.
