Paris Masters: Hugo Gaston dominates Pablo Carreno Busta and will play the round of 16 – archyde

After the feat against Stan Wawrinka at Roland Garros in 2020 who had allowed him to reach the knockout stages of the Major on clay and to make a name for himself, Hugo Gaston achieved a new performance by beating, on Wednesday 3 November, in the second round of the Masters 1000 in Paris, the Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta (17^e) 6-7 (3/7), 6-4, 7-5.

The 21-year-old from Toulouse, more used to Challengers tournaments than to major ATP tournaments, beats the player ranked 17 for the second time^e global. Hugo Gaston, 103^e world and qualifying, recited his creative game.

This new big performance, Gaston realized it under the eyes of the captain of the France team Sébastien Grosjean, who must find a replacement for the Davis Cup (November 25-December 5) to Ugo Humbert who forfeited.

To try to reach the quarter-finals, the player with the small template (1.73 meters for 68 kg) will face Thursday one of the young wolves of the circuit, the Italian Jannik Sinner (9^e) or Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (35^e).
