  "account": "Paris Masters second seed Carlos Alcaraz secured a walkover into the quarter-finals after Matteo Berrettini withdrew from their third-round match due to an arm injury. The Italian, ranked 43rd in the world, informed his followers on Instagram that his arm pain would not allow him to continue the match. Alcaraz, who defeated Alex Michelsen in the opening round, will face either France's Arthur Fils or American Taylor Fritz in the last eight. The Spaniard, who has missed over four months due to a wrist injury, is aiming for his fifth title of the season in Paris. Alcaraz has already earned his ATP Finals qualification and boasts a 39-5 record this season.",
