Paris: Frenchman Adrian Mannarino rose to the occasion in front of a home crowd on Monday as he beat world number 12 Tommy Paul at the indoor Paris Masters.
Mannarino, ranked 58th, won 6-3, 7-5 at the Bercy Arena to move into a second-round match against either Zizou Bergs of Belgium or French veteran Richard Gasquet.
Paul’s hopes of qualifying for the end-of-season Masters in Turin in November evaporated as a result of the unexpected defeat.
World number 11 Stefanos Tsitsipas emerged from a tricky start to beat Roberto Carballes Baena 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 and move into the second round.
Later, Sinner announced he has withdrawn from the event due to an "intestinal virus".
