Stefanos Tsitsipas begins his quest for another deep run at the Paris Masters against the fiery Roberto Carballes Baena of Spain on Monday. After winning the Monte Carlo Masters and reaching the final in Barcelona, Tsitsipas has been going through a dismal second half of 2024, which saw him crashing out early in big tournaments and dropping outside the ATP top 10. Already out of contention for a spot in the ATP Tour Finals, the mercurial tennis star can still end his campaign on a high note if he can match or better his semifinal finishes in the last two years. Carballes Baena secured his spot in the main draw of the Paris Masters after being gifted with a lucky loser entry following a 6-3 7-6(4) loss to Lorenzo Sonego in the qualifier final. The Spaniard had reached the second round of the European Open before he was knocked off by No.1 seed Alex de Minaur in an earlier tournament.
