Ideas on the Draw

High Half: Sinner and Zverev Headline

Seeded gamers: Jannik Sinner (1), Alexander Zverev (3), Taylor Fritz (5), Andrey Rublev, Alex de Minaur (9), Stefanos Tsitsipas (10), Holger Rune (13), Lorenzo Musetti (16)

Jannik Sinner lands on the prime of the draw, and after a bye, he’ll need to hit the bottom working with a match towards Ben Shelton or a fortunate loser.

Initially, Felix Auger-Aliassime was Shelton’s scheduled opponent however withdrew after the draw. Aliassime has had a poor 12 months, so that you’d decide Shelton both approach, though he could also be drained after his exploits in Basel.

Sinner has solely performed three matches in Bercy, with only one win. Nevertheless, based mostly on his season thus far, it’s arduous to look previous him making the latter phases. He heads in with a cool $6 million in his checking account after profitable the Six Kings Slam.

Additionally in Sinner’s quarter are Alex de Minaur, Holger Rune and Taylor Fritz. Rune is the 2022 runner-up, whereas the circumstances swimsuit de Minaur’s pace and baseline recreation. Nevertheless, the Aussie made the semi-finals in Vienna, the place he seemed leggy and had some query marks about his health after a spell on the sidelines. 

Fritz is coming in off a stellar 12 months, however he’s by no means reached the ultimate at an Indoor Match (other than taking part in nicely on the Laver Cup) and has solely been previous spherical 2 in Paris as soon as in 5 makes an attempt.

Within the backside part of the highest half, Zverev slots in because the third seed and heads in off the again of an early loss to Lorenzo Musetti in Vienna.

Rublev and Tstisipas are additionally on this part. The latter must win the title in Paris (and have outcomes go his approach) to make the ATP Finals, one thing he’s managed yearly since 2019.

Predicted semi-final: Jannik Sinner (1) vs Alexander Zverev (3)

Backside Half: Arduous to look previous Alcaraz

Seeded gamers: Carlos Alcaraz (2), Daniil Medvedev (4), Casper Ruud (7), Grigor Dimitrov (8), Tommy Paul (11), Hubert Hurkacz (12), Frances Tiafoe (14), Ugo Humbert (15)

Within the backside half, Carlos Alcaraz is the second seed, and his part seems very manageable, with both Nicolas Jarry or Lorenzo Sonego within the second spherical. 

Ruud, Paul, and Humbert are the opposite seeds on this quarter, and the Norwegians and People nonetheless have an opportunity to make Turin.

Paul boosted his possibilities of profitable the title in Stockholm however crashed out in his opening match to Nakashima in Vienna. Ruud misplaced within the first spherical in Basel, so his possibilities of being leapfrogged by De Minaur and Dimitrov are probably, barring a robust exhibiting in Paris.

The highest seed within the prime part of the underside half is Daniil Medvedev, who has already certified for Turin. 

The Russian has been coping with a shoulder downside, and though he performed the Six Kings Slam to get his paycheque, he hasn’t seemed in nice kind not too long ago, so I’m not sure what to anticipate.

Dimitrov, Hurkacz and Tiafoe are the opposite seeds on this part, together with former champion Karen Khachanov. 

I’d fancy Dimitrov to do one thing right here, however his legs seemed to be gone in Vienna, so I believe Medvedev will make the semi-finals, given he hasn’t performed both of the ATP 500s this week.

Predicted semi-final: Carlos Alcaraz (2) vs Daniil Medvedev (4)
