Carlos Alcaraz retires against Rune in Paris, Sabalenka through at WTA Finals. The world number one, Carlos Alcaraz, retired with an injury against Holger Rune at the Paris Masters on Friday, sending his fellow 19-year-old through to the semi-finals.

When the Rio Open presented by Claro was hit with heavy rain on Tuesday evening, Carlos Alcaraz quickly saved a ball kid from a soaking. With the top-seeded Spaniard leading Brazilian Mateus Alves 6-4, 5-3, play was suspended due to rain.
