In the third set, Dimitrov had a 5:2 lead but couldn't serve out the match in the 9th game despite having 4 match points. In the 12th game on Medvedev's serve, Dimitrov had another chance to close out Daniil, but once again, the Bulgarian failed to convert 2 match points.

Throughout the match, the French crowd showed their support exclusively for Dimitrov, which did not sit well with Medvedev, and he often expressed his displeasure. After the match, he showed the middle finger to the French fans. However, during the press conference, he claimed he was just looking at his fingernail:

"The middle finger? No, I was just examining my fingernail from that angle. Why would I behave like that towards this lovely Parisian crowd?"

In the 1/8 finals of the Paris Masters, Dimitrov will face Alexander Bublik.
