World No.83 qualifier Rinki Hijikata came from a set down again to beat Thomas Martin Etchvery 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 to reach the biggest quarter-final of his career at Rolex Paris. A day after Novak Djokovic, the 25-year-old is the first quarter-finalist after Hugo Gaston in 2021 in Paris, with Mussetti or Van Assche next.
