Ignacio Buse became the first Peruvian to win a match at the Paris Masters 1000 on Monday, beating Belgium’s Zizou Bergs 6-2, 6-4 in the first round to set up a meeting with fourth seed Daniil Medvedev.

The 22-year-old, ranked No. 33 and playing the event for the first time, also earned his first Masters 1000 win on hard courts. He had lost his four previous matches at that level on the surface.

The result reversed their only previous meeting, in Shanghai this season, when Bergs, ranked No. 40, won 6-0, 6-3.

Buse has won two titles this season, in Hamburg and Winston-Salem, and came into the Rolex Paris Masters with a 24-21 record in 2026.

Medvedev, the 2020 Paris champion, next for Buse

Medvedev, who received a first-round bye, won the title in 2020 and has a 12-7 record at the event. He has won four titles this season and has already qualified for the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin.

Bergs, who won the Eastbourne title this season, had reached the second round in Paris in each of the past two years.
