Even more prominent players than Carlos Alcaraz have worked in vain on Pierre-Hugues Herbert: Dominic Thiem, for example, has the worst problems with the Frenchman's service volley game. All the more it speaks for Alcaraz that he was able to assert himself against Herbert in the hall of Paris-Bercy and thus in front of his home crowd with 6: 7 (4), 7: 6 (2) and 7: 5. As a reward, Juan Carlos Ferrero's 18-year-old protégé is allowed to play against Jannik Sinner in round two. The two youngsters were still in the semi-finals in Vienna on Saturday.
