And in the end, there's only one left.
Adrian Mannarino (36th in the world) is the only one of the four French people competing on Wednesday to have crossed the second round of the Masters 1000 at Paris-Bercy, Richard Gasquet, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Benjamin Bonzi having fallen on stronger than them.
Mannarino was pushed to the 3rd set by the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka (51st) but won 6-3, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3.
He joined his compatriot Ugo Humbert, author of a crazy match against Tsitsipas, in the round of 16.
The march will be significantly higher Thursday for Mannarino, who will be opposed to the German Alexander Zverev (7th).
The latter managed a shattering entry into the running on Wednesday by sweeping the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic (42nd) 6-2, 6-2 in 55 minutes.
For his part, Humbert was a little more spared, even if it will take another tough match to get rid of the Croatian Marin Cilic.

Herbert (85th) logically fell against Canadian Milos Raonic (17th) 6-4, 6-4.
End of the trip also for Benjamin Bonzi (180th and beneficiary of a wild card) after his defeat against the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich (63rd) 6-4, 6-4.
Bonzi had a good performance in the first round by dispatching the Argentinian Federico Coria (93rd) 6-2, 6-1.
