Paris Masters 2020 Thursday Schedule of Play

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.
