The round of 32 match of Paris Masters between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime will take place on November 1.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has been somewhat fortunate with recent draws, and his performance hasn’t been outstanding. However, reaching back-to-back semifinals in Antwerp and Vienna has provided a much-needed confidence boost. Before ATP Antwerp, he struggled in five tournaments, failing to secure consecutive wins and losing to underdogs like Alex Molcan, Nicolas Jarry, and Dominic Stricker. Despite a season marked by physical issues and inconsistent performances, Tsitsipas is nearing the 50-win milestone and is set to qualify for the ATP Finals for the fifth consecutive year. He currently holds the #6 spot in the Race to Turin and is expected to secure his place soon. While Tsitsipas reached the Paris Masters semifinals in 2022 and the quarterfinals in 2019, he has often exited at the second round, facing this outcome three times in 2018, 2020, and 2021.
Felix Auger-Aliassime ended his tour struggles by successfully defending his title in Basel last week. Now, he’s faced with the task of maintaining the momentum he gained. In his first Paris Masters match, he managed to defeat the formidable Jan-Lennard Struff with a score of 7-6, 6-4. In Basel, he needed to reach the final or win the title to secure a top-20 ranking, and a similar challenge awaits him at the Paris Masters. He’s defending the semifinal points he earned in this tournament last year, making a deep run necessary to maintain his top-20 status at year-end. During his title-winning campaign in Basel, Auger-Aliassime defeated two Turin aspirants, Holger Rune and Hubert Hurkacz, and now faces another Turin contender in the second round of the Paris Masters. His win over Holger Rune marked his first victory against a top-10 player in 2023.
