Lorenzo Sonego rallied past fellow Italian and No. 7 seed Lorenzo Musetti 3-6, 6-3, 6-1, and Germany's Daniel Altmaier upset No. 8 seed Casper Ruud of Norway 6-3, 7-5 in the Round of 32 of the Rolex Paris Masters on Wednesday.
Sonego made his mark by converting 4 of 5 break-point opportunities and saving 3 of 4 break points he faced against his countryman. Altmaier sent 10 aces past Ruud while saving 4 of 5 break points.
Musetti and Ruud joined No. 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz on the sidelines after the Spaniard was upset by Great Britain's Cameron Norrie on Tuesday.
That upset opened a path for Italian No. 2 Jannik Sinner to wrest the No. 1 world ranking back from Alcaraz. Sinner would return to No. 1 in the world if he wins the title at this week's ATP Masters 1000 tournament.
