Alexander Zverev is seeded fourth at the Paris Masters and is in only his second quarter final at this tournament. He takes on Stan Wawrinka who is seeded 12th and is chasing his second semi-final here in three appearances. Zverev has already clinched his place in the upcoming ATP Tour Finals in London. He's in excellent form at present having won both of the hard court tournaments recently held in Cologne, Germany and also made it to the final of the US Open, losing to Dominic Thiem on a fifth set tie-break. This week has seen Zverev continue that good form with wins over Miomir Kecmanovic and a three-set win over Adrian Mannarino.  Now he bids to maintain his 100% record against Stan Wawrinka, having won each of their previous three meetings. The most recent was in this year's Australian Open  quarter final that he won in four sets.

Wawrinka is seeded 12th at the Paris Masters but doesn't have a chance of making it to the lucrative tour finals. Recent form hasn't been that great with an opening round loss to Cristian Garin in Vienna last week. At the French Open he only made it to the last 32, losing to Henri Gaston who is ranked outside the top 200. His best performance this year was winning a clay tournament in Prague, but he didn't beat anyone ranked in the top 100. He's showed some better form this week though with wins over Dan Evans, Tommy Paul and Andrey Rublev. He had to come from behind in the last two of those matches. The win over Rublev was an impressive one though as he's been in top form of late. Zverev has the momentum at present and he can reach his first Paris Masters semi-final.
