Alexander Zverev

Rinky Hijikata defeated Novak Djokovic 2‑6, 6‑3, 6‑3 in the second round of the Paris Masters, eliminating the seven‑time champion. The loss ends Djokovic’s chance to claim one of the two remaining ATP Finals spots in Turin. Hijikata, ranked world No 83, said he stayed aggressive after dropping the first set. Djokovic took a medical timeout for a shoulder problem during the second set. Earlier exits by Frances Tiafoe, Rafael Jodar and Alex de Minaur left the field open for other contenders such as Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul.

Carlos Alcaraz won the Vienna Open title by beating Alex de Minaur 6-1 6-4 in the final, after the two reached the final on 31 Oct.

The title is Alcaraz's 28th career ATP Tour title and his second indoor hard-court ATP crown. He dropped no sets during the tournament.
