Paris Bercy Atp Masters 1000
Daniil Medvedev won the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy. The Russian defeated Alexander Zverev 5: 7, 6: 4 and 6: 1. Alexander Zverev's 13th match win in a row and his fourth triumph in an ATP Masters 1000 tournament didn't come to anything. What an idea from Alexander Zverev! The German number one gave Rafael Nadal no chance in the semifinals of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Paris-Bercy and won 6: 4 and 7: 5. This means that Zverev can play for his fourth title at 1000 level on Sunday - opponent will be the Russian Daniil Medvedev, who won against Milos Raonic 6: 4 and 7: 6 (4). Along with world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who will not defend his title at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Paris, Thiem's next tournament will be the season-ending Nitto ATP Finals. Despite a 6-2, 6-1.
World No. 3 Dominic Thiem has pulled out of next week's Rolex Paris Masters following his quarterfinal exit in Vienna.
The 27-year-old Austrian seemed to be troubled by his feet, and called the trainer during his 7-6(5), 6-2 defeat to Andrey Rublev on Friday. The defending champion and home favorite was playing his first event since Roland Garros.
'I've had problems with a blister since the first round,' he told Austrian press. 'I always have problems, especially indoors. I felt it very strongly when I was playing and it got worse and worse with every slide, every rally.'

Thiem added that he has played with the injury before, including during his title run in Vienna the year before, and tapes his feet three times to avoid problems. He later tweeted Saturday, 'As many of you already have seen, unfortunately, I had to withdraw from the Paris Bercy Masters this year, due to an injury on my right foot. My team and I decided that it is best to rest this week to be fully recovered for the ATP Nitto Finals.'

Despite a 6-2, 6-1 quarterfinal defeat to Lorenzo Sonego, Djokovic considered his week in Vienna a success after all but wrapping up the year-end No. 1 ranking. The Serbian will finish in the top spot unless Rafael Nadal wins the final three events on the calendar in Paris, Sofia—where the Spaniard would require a wild card—and London.

'I came here with the intention to try to earn more points and secure the No. 1,' Djokovic said. 'I have done that. I have done what I needed to do and why I came here. I am completely fine, and looking forward to the next chapter.'
Grigor Dimitrov also withdrew from Paris, citing a foot injury.

At the ATP Rolex Paris Masters, ATP Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy, Rafael Nadal got 1000 career wins! The Spaniard beat in three sets his countryman Feliciano Lopez to get another amazing goal. Alex de Minaur puts an end to Lorenzo Sonego's march in Paris-Bercy.
Fresh from the final under the roof of Vienna (and from the victory against Alexander Bublik) the Italian number three manages to collect only ten points in response. Not to hang on to the tie break during the second set. The final 6-4 7-5 is somewhat emblematic.
No particular surprises to register on day-4. Kevin Anderson retires at the foot of the tie break against Daniil Medvedev, Milos Raonic gets rid of Pierre Hugues Herbert's double 6-4, reaches eleven consecutive victories.
