with a powerful serve early in the match.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old\u2019s first delivery was called out, but the ball ricocheted off the wall and hit the young girl in the face. Clearly shaken by the incident, the youngster broke down in tears.<\/p>\n<p>French home favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/arthur-fils\">Fils<\/a> wasted no time at all in checking on her, before guiding her to a court official, who led her from the arena.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p>Arthur Fils is a class act \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>#RolexParisMasters https:\/\/t.co\/dM2fqtiu5m<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tennis TV (@TennisTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TennisTV\/status\/2118418026777448915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The 22-year-old was widely praised for his compassion by fans in the stands and on social media, but Fritz also approached the net and tried to enquire about her welfare.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More ATP Tour News<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-2 mt-3 px-3 text-base font-semibold leading-snug text-title xs:px-4\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/taylor-fritz-very-bizarre-decision\">Taylor Fritz has just made a very bizarre decision that makes very little sense for his career<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 mt-3 px-3 text-base font-semibold leading-snug text-title xs:px-4\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-warned-overcome-obstacle-former-atp-star-afraid\">Carlos Alcaraz warned he must overcome one obstacle as former ATP star admits \u2018I am afraid\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?

She too began crying and was led away from the centre court, but not before both Alcaraz and Fritz went to check on her.<\/p>\n<p>Sky Sports commentator Adam Fielder said, \u201cWhat\u2019s happened here? That is back-to-back Taylor Fritz matches that a ball girl has got injured. We hope she\u2019s alright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And co-commentator Daniela Hantuchova guessed that the ball girl had twisted her ankle and mused that it was in the same corner as the incident from Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>The moment was picked up by a number of tennis fans on X, with one tweeting, \u201cSecond Fritz match in a row that a ball girl gets hurt. Hope she is okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another person quipped, \u201cNo ball girl is safe in a Fritz match these days,\u201d while someone else joked, \u201cFritz sacrificed another ball girl. Good luck, Alcaraz; this guy is doing witchcraft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a brief disruption, the match continued between the two tennis heavyweights. Heading into this encounter, Alcaraz held a 6-1 head-to-head record against Fritz, with the American\u2019s sole win coming back at last year\u2019s Davis Cup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GO DEEPER:\u00a0<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-coaching-hire-big-advantage-ben-shelton-juan-carlos-ferrero\">Jannik Sinner told why coaching hire gives him \u2018big advantage\u2019 over Ben Shelton and Juan Carlos Ferrero<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Fritz in Paris Masters deja vu as Carlos Alcaraz match disrupted by bizarre incident Richie Mills 06 Nov 2026 7:57 PM A ball girl at the Paris Masters got hurt during Taylor Fritz&#8217;s match with Carlos Alcaraz Tennis fans have reacted after another ball kid at the Paris Masters was injured during a Taylor [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2242360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2242360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2242360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2242360\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2242360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2242360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2242360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
