These two players broke French hearts as they beat the two remaining home players. Rafael Nadal beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets, while Denis Shapovalov knocked out Gael Monfils. It's not just that there are no French players left but only two seeds remain in the tournament, namely the top two of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard becomes the new number one in the world on Monday and would love to be the Paris Masters champion too. He's reached the last four without dropping a set with victories over Adrian Mannarino, Stan Wawrinka and then Tsonga in the quarter final.

He takes on Denis Shapovalov in the last four and his opponent is in good form. He didn't have much of a test in the first round when Gilles Simon retired after just four games. Since then, he's knocked out 11th seeded Fabio Fognini, fifth seeded Alexander Zverev and then seed number 13 Gael Monfils for the loss of just four games. Shapovalov is a recent winner of the Stockholm tournament and was a semi-finalist in Chengdhu. This is his toughest task of the week and the tip is for the ultra-consistent Nadal to beat him in straight sets.
