This is Sonego’s seventh appearance at the Paris Masters, with the Italian failing to advance past the second round in his previous six attempts. For Korda, this is the American’s fourth participation in the Paris Masters, his best outing taking place during the 2021 edition, where he lost to Daniil Medvedev in the third round.

Korda’s form and injury concerns are major concerns ahead of the match, while Sonego’s form this season has also been inconsistent. However, the Italian has the head-to-head advantage over the American, notably winning his previous two indoor matches, making the former the favorite to win the upcoming match.

Take– Sonego winner in three sets.
