It’s been an eventful few days in the sport, with the rapid rise of Saudi Arabia’s presence dominating the sphere of conversation.
Coco Gauff has put her neck on the line and addressed the unrelenting debate surrounding sportswashing, while fellow pros are slowly opting to follow her lead.
Over in Paris, as Holge Rune prepares to take on Alex Zverev in the semi-finals, Carlos Alcaraz is still very much licking his wounds.
The young Spaniard quickly turned his attention to the Paris Masters playing surface as he blamed the conditions for his defeat at the hands of Ugo Humbert.
The French No. 1 put on a show for the Bercy crowd and gave Alcaraz quite the fright on Halloween, blitzing the first set 6-1, before splitting the next two as Humbert came out on top 7-5 in the decider.
Humbert now faces Karen Khachanov for a spot in the final.
