After losing all three of his previous matches against John Isner, world no. 9 Andrey Rublev defeated the big-serving American in the second round of the Paris Masters to advance. The victory also secured the Russian a place in the year-ending ATP Finals in Turin. Rublev did not face a break point during the match, but he broke the world no. 47 twice in the first set and once in the second to win 6-2, 6-3. Rublev’s 49th victory of the season. This season, he has reached four finals and won them all: in Marseille, Dubai, Belgrade, and Gijon. Aside from the two titles, he also advanced to the semi-finals in Rotterdam and Astana.
18th in the world Holger Rune defeated 10th seed Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets to advance to the third round of a Masters 1000 tournament for the first time. The Pole was defeated 7-5, 6-1 in 66 minutes by the 19-year-old, who is making his Paris Masters debut. Rune, who has been in excellent form recently, had previously reached the finals of three tournaments. He won the title in Stockholm but finished second in Sofia and Basel. Carrying that form into the tournament, Rune came back to beat Stan Wawrinka in the first round. Rune will be relieved that the second round match was much easier, allowing him to improve to 15-2 in his last 17 matches.
