On Monday, Andy Murray will play Gilles Simon in the opening round of the 2022 ATP Paris Masters.
Murray has triumphed in 25 of his 42 matches so far this season, and his accomplishments have allowed him to climb back into the top 50 in the ATP rankings. He hasn’t yet won a competition in 2022, although he has made it to two finals, in Sydney and Stuttgart. The last time Murray played was at the Swiss Indoors in Basel, where he defeated Roman Safiullin 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the opening round after rallying from a set down. But in the Round of 16, he was defeated by sixth seed Roberto Bautista Agut, 6-3, 6-4.
Simon, on the other hand, has largely played on the ATP Challenger Tour and has only won five of his twelve matches so far this season. The 37-year-best old’s achievement in 2022 was making it to the third round of the French Open, when he fell to eventual semifinalist Marin Cilic 6-0, 6-3, 6-2. In his most recent appearance on the ATP Tour, the Frenchman defeated David Goffin 6-3, 6-3 in the opening round of the Moselle Open in Metz. But in the Round of 16, he was defeated by Lorenzo Musetti, 7-6(2), 6-4.
Andy Murray and Gilles Simon are scheduled to take on one another in the first round of the 2022 Paris Masters on Sunday, October 31. The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 31 to November 6, 2022.
