The
Paris Masters continues today with 8 interesting matches with all of the best players on the courts.
The programme will kick off as it usually does at 11:00 CET with a match between Davidovich Fokina and
Diego Schwartzman. Both players are among the better performers since the restart and both are capable hard courts player. It should be a feisty match as neither quits easily. After that, we will see De Minaur take on Medvedev with both players, not in the greatest of form but have performer well in Paris. At the same time, Raonic will take on Giron in a matchup between two strong serves where the points will be short and brief. Raonic is the clear favourite and should win this without any troubles.
The next match will be a fascinating affair between Cilic and Humbert. The Frenchman has been stellar since Antwerp and his win over Tsisipas was spectacular. The Croatian hasn't played well lately but his Paris record is very good so he will have his chances. Pablo Carreno-Busta will take on Gombos who played very good against Goffin. Despite that, the Spaniard will have a clear edge.
Rafael Nadal will kick off he evening schedule with a match against Thompson. The Australian is a tricky player and Nadal has shown cracks against Lopez.
The final two matches will be played in the early evening hours as
Alexander Zverev will take on Mannarino. The Frenchman is a good indoors player and as Frenchman usually do, performers well on home soil. Nonetheless, Zverev will have the edge. The final match of the day will be a banger between Wawrinka and Rublev. Stan has been playing the best tennis in a long time in Paris while Rublev has been the best player since the restart without a question. A great to end the day especially if both perform the way they can.
