During the third day of play at the Paris Masters players continue fighting for the spot in the third round and there is a lot to watch already from the beginning.
The day will start with the match between Milos Raonic and Dominic Thiem. It will be a difficult task for Thiem early in the tournament. Raonic scores 19,4 aces a match and had fewer double faults in the season as the Austrian. Serve will be a really important factor in this match. But we can not forget the 5 titles of Thiem, he earned this season, what is the most on the ATP Tour.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Taylor Fritz meet in the second match during Wednesday. World number 7 Tsitsipas won 60% of his matches at Masters tournaments this year, whereas his opponent won just 38,5%. Fritz won also just 33,3% of matches against players from TOP 10 as he defeated only Zverev, Fognini and Isner and will be having a hard quest against the Greek.
Christian Garin and John Isner are the featured names in the 3rd match. Garin will need to hold his serve against the tall American and use his chances in the tie-break as Isner won 94,1% of his service games this season. Garin managed to defeat Isner this season in Montreal and so he knows how to approach the game.
Denis Shapovalov will be facing unpredictable Fabio Fognini in his 2nd round match. Shapovalov did not have much of a work in the first round as Simon retired already after first 4 games. Fognini struggled at the smaller tournaments this year, but at the Masters, he has won 15 out of the 21 matches.

- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- 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 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
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
