The round of 32 match of Paris Masters between Grigor Dimitrov and Daniil Medvedev will take place on November 1.
Grigor Dimitrov is seemingly following a familiar script at the Paris Masters. After defeating Lorenzo Musetti in the first round, he’s repeating a pattern from the previous week in Vienna, where he beat Musetti and then lost to Daniil Medvedev in the second round. Throughout this year, the former world #3 has consistently displayed confident tennis, but he’s been unable to break his six-year title drought, often due to facing top-tier players and struggling to overcome them despite his skills. Out of his 20 losses in 2023, ten were against top-10 players. Since his 2012 debut at the Paris Masters, Dimitrov has reached the second round in nine consecutive appearances, winning each time.
In the first half of 2023, Daniil Medvedev excelled in finals but faced a stark contrast in the latter part, losing all three championship matches, including a grueling defeat to Jannik Sinner in Vienna. He experienced early exits on his preferred hard courts in the second half, not matching his earlier success. Medvedev’s highly successful season is only missing a Grand Slam title. He aims to finish the year strong, targeting titles at the Paris Masters and ATP Finals, both of which he has won before. In 2020, he clinched the Paris Masters, and his dismal 2022 season saw a year-end slump with four consecutive losses.

With a 6-2 head-to-head deficit against Daniil Medvedev, Grigor Dimitrov is known for putting up a strong fight against top-tier opponents. This presents an opportunity for Dimitrov to potentially break his frustrating pattern, as Medvedev has displayed subpar form in Vienna and recently played a taxing final match just days ago, which could work in Dimitrov’s favor.
