10th seeded Hubert Hurkacz faces Adrian Mannarino in the Paris Masters first round. Hurkacz needs to go deep into this tournament if he wants to make it into the ATP Tour Finals. He's currently ninth in the ATP Race but Novak Djokovic who is 10th is guaranteed a place because he's won a Grand Slam title this year. Hurkacz may have to settle for being one of the alternates in Turin.. The world number 10 recently reached the last four in Metz and has followed that up with three more quarter final appearances. He won the Halle grass court tournament this year and made it to the final of the Montreal Masters. It hasn't been a good year in the Grand Slam events with his best being a fourth round at Roland Garros. Another good run in Paris is needed this week.

Adrian Mannarino is the world number 43 and would love to do well in front of his home fans. He's not in the best of form though and has lost his last three matches. His best recent run was getting to the last eight in Astana but he could only take three games off Andrey Rublev. That's the only one of his last six tournaments in which he has made it past the last 32. He'll hope to recapture the form shown in August when winning the Winston Salem Open.  This looks a tough task for him, go for Hurkacz to get the win.
