Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic continue their Paris Masters’ campaigns today with both players knowing they have a great chance of securing the title following a manic Wednesday.
Just 48 hours ago, Milos Raonic, Marton Fucsovics and Rafael Nadal all withdrew from the tournament at late notice.
Nadal’s decision not to play means Djokovic will leapfrog the Spaniard to the top of the world rankings on Monday for the first time since 2016.
With the tournament at the quarter-finals, fans on Centre Court will be in for a treat today with a host of top talent in action.
Alexander Zverev continues his quest for glory against Karen Khachanov in the opening match, having yet to drop a set in his Paris Masters campaign so far.
American Jack Sock is in for a busy day with his match against Dominic Thiem following Zverev’s, before getting some rest and teaming up with doubles partner Mike Bryan this evening.
Third on centre court sees an exciting match up between Marin Cilic and Djokovic.
The Serbian is on a 20-match winning run but was beaten by Cilic in this year’s Queen’s final.
And last to take to the stage will be Swiss veteran Federer when he goes up against Kei Nishikori, as he bids to take another step closer to winning his 100th career title.
