ROLEX PARIS MASTERS. It’s over for Gilles Simon. Beaten by a too strong Auger Aliassime, the Frenchman officially retires.
He threw his last strength into battle. Gilles Simon officially retired this Thursday, November 3 after his defeat in the round of 16 of the Paris Bercy Masters 1000 against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, absolutely imperial. Aged 37 and on the professional circuit since 2002, Gilles Simon leaves with one of the finest records in French tennis with 14 titles, 1 Davis Cup and a 6th place as best ranking in 2009.
Among other results of the day, world number 1 Carlos Alcaraz was imperial against Bulgar Grigor Dimitrov to reach the quarter-finals of the Masters. Finalist at Roland Garros and at the US Open, Norway’s Casper Ruud fell to fiery Italian Musetti as American Tiafoe got the upper hand early in the day against Alex de Minaur, who fell earlier in the week by Daniil Medvedev.
