THE PREDICTION

World number two Rafael Nadal comes into the Paris Masters with a remarkable 38-5 win record for 2022, a season that saw him win two more Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and Roland-Garros to extend the Men’s Grand Slam Singles record to 22. The 36-year-old started this season with doubts over fitness and he ends it in much the same way, with his last singles match a round of 16 defeat in four sets to Frances Tiafoe at the US Open almost two months ago. World number 31 Tommy Paul beat Roberto Bautista Agut for the first time on Tuesday and he will be desperate to make a better account of himself against Nadal after losing comfortably in their first meeting at the Acapulco Open back in February. 25-year-old Paul has enjoyed his best season on tour with plenty of high-profile victories over the likes of Marin Cilic and Carlos Alcaraz. If the American is ever to beat Nadal it would be here and now, particularly as the Spaniard will not risk suffering an injury with the ATP Finals coming up. Back Paul to earn at least a set and leave the victor up to chance, with the Parisian crowd likely to all they can to drag Nadal over the line.
