Paris Masters Quarter-Finals Preview: Djokovic set for Tsitsipas showdown, Monfils aims to go closer to ATP Finals qualification
ATP
The Quarter-Finals are here at the Paris Masters, the latest ATP 1000 event with multiple top ties set to take place today.
Main one sees Novak Djokovic taking on Stefanos Tsitsipas as he aims to gain revenge for losing out to him last month at the Shanghai Masters and after also a previous defeat in Toronto.
Nadal who is also in the latter stages could secure his place at the top of the year end standings for the fifth time if Djokovic loses again. The Greek star has been playing well and with London in his sights firmly will hope to put a good run of form together going into that.
The winner will take on an unseeded test in the next round in either Christian Garin or Grigor Dimitrov.
Gael Monfils will take on Denis Shapovalov with an ATP Finals spot in mind and if he wins, he will take one step closer to reaching that point. Both players are known for their frenetic style of play so should be engaging right from the start.
Amongst all this Rafael Nadal will take on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a battle of old. Both players have looked good so far with the latter in particular through to his first ATP 1000 Quarter-Final since 2016.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
