Eighth seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime is up against 16th seeded Frances Tiafoe in the Paris Masters quarter finals. The winner will take on either top seeded Carlos Alcaraz or Holger Rune for a place in the final. The Canadian beat both of those players last week.  It's been a great few weeks for Auger-Aliassime who has won three consecutive titles. His run to the quarter finals in Paris has confirmed his place in the Tour Finals. He's up to sixth in the live rankings and a couple more wins this week will see go above Daniil Medvedev into fifth. The Canadian has won titles in  Florence, Antwerp and Basel and has now won 15 matches in a row. So far in Paris, he's beaten Mikael Ymer in three sets (after losing the first) and Gilles Simon for the loss of only four games.

Frances Tiafoe began the week ranked 21st but is up to 19th in the live rankings. Winning this match would see him climb to 16th place. The American reached the semi-finals at the US Open in August  Since then he's made it to the final in Tokyo, losing to Taylor Fritz. He lost in the quarter finals in Stockholm last week but again he finds himself in the last eight of a tournament. Tiafoe has had wins over Lorenzo Soneg and Alex de Minaur to make it into the last eight.  He's played Auger-Aliassime on two previous occasions and lost them both. The most recent match was in Barcelona this year with the Canadian winning in straight sets. Auger-Aliassime can get another win here.
