PublishedPARIS — Alexei Popyrin upset fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 in the second round of the Paris Masters on Wednesday in a tense match with many ups and downs.
Popyrin and Medvedev combined for a total of 86 unforced errors under the roof of the Palais Omnisports. “Stuff like that, I'm trying to let it fire me up rather than put me down,” Popyrin said. “It was tough to take, but it definitely fired me up after that, probably woke me up a little bit, and maybe I played a bit more free.”
Dimitrov, who saved all three break points he faced, is in 10th place in the race to earn a spot at next month's ATP Finals, the year-end tournament gathering the top eight players of the season. Dimitrov could qualify if the reaches the final in Paris.
