Fokina played a really solid second set but Fritz was pretty good himself taking a break from the Spaniard that he did not let go.

Only lifting the trophy in Bercy will give Fritz or Hurkacz a chance. “I’ve always believed that I can play this way, that I can be consistent in that way, but one thing is to believe and the other is to actually do it.

“I'm probably conditioned in some ways for tennis, because my body is responding well to the matches. “Maybe one of the mistakes that I made was like playing Newport (after Wimbledon). I need to do exceptional things to still compete.” So it's something that I'll have to look at. I think just the reality is I need to work harder. What I'm trying to do is extremely hard.

Andy Murray criticised his performance against Gilles Simon in Paris as he lost after serving for the match.

The Brit rose from world No 134 back into the top 50 this season and it remains to be seen how much more he can push himself in 2023 after vowing to train harder. “If I'm being completely honest, I don't think the last four or five months that that's necessarily been happening, since the issue sort of started in Newport, Washington time,” he added, referring to his cramps and physical woes. “I'm probably conditioned in some ways for tennis, because my body is responding well to the matches. Murray’s 2022 season came to an end in the first round of the Paris Masters on Monday night as he lost despite serving for a straight-sets victory. “Having that happen after a set and a half on an indoor court where it's not particularly hot is not really not acceptable,” the 2016 champion in Paris-Bercy told the The former world No 1 has now admitted to making mistakes in a scathing review of his performance.

The win boosts Rublev's hopes of making it to the ATP Finals in November, which has only two spots remaining.

Novak Djokovic didn't give face a single break point as a dominant display of serving against Maxime Cressy sent the Serbian into the last 16.

There was only one sign of nerves from the 35-year-old, a double fault at 30-15, but he responded with an ace to set up two match points – and only needed one to take the victory. Yet another double fault from the American handed the Serbian two more break points and this time he made no mistake, dispatching a forehand to break Cressy’s serve for the first time and give himself the chance to serve for the match. Djokovic earned a break point in the opening game of the second set, but a well-executed serve and volley – not for the first time – helped Cressy recover to hold. A fifth double fault of the match from Cressy gave Djokovic an early opening and he took full advantage, winning all his points on serve and bounding across the court to flick a forehand winner past the American at the net to make it 5-1 at the change of ends. The former world No.1 then seized the only break of the match at the opportune moment to go 5-4 up in the second, before serving out with ease in a match in which he won 48 of his 54 points on serve. Djokovic’s victory was his 10th on the ATP Tour in a row, continuing a strong end to the season after victories in Tel Aviv and Astana in October.
