(Wc) Arthur Rindennich vs (WC) Valentin VapeRerot
Cousins will be going head-to-head when they clash in the Rolex Paris Masters on Wednesday. Rirernech and Vangeli faced off in the Shanghai Masters Final earlier this month, where Vengerot ended his unlikely run to the title with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory.
Both individuals needed a wild card for direct entry this week, as the Shanghai results come after the Paris deadline. They have made many of those WCs so far; Rindennech battled past Fabian Marozsan 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4) on Monday before Verot demolished Jiri LehecA 6-1, 6-3 on Tuesday. Wold No. 40 shows no signs of slowing down on the heels of his shadohai heroics, such as 4-6, 4), 7-5 loss of hot seed Taylor Fritz was a respect. In addition, the pressure is on Rindennech in their quest for revenge and because they are playing in front of the French crowd.

(10) Karen Khachanov vs Joao Fonseca
Like Vangerot, Fonseca again attracted the biggest headline of his career this fall – in this country last Sunday. Actually. The 19-year-old ended his run to the Basel ATP 500 Trophy by beating Alejandro Damovich Fokina 6-3, 6-4. Fonseca found Denis Shapovalo Vaponovanov in retirement when he led 4-1 in the third set of their quarter-final match at that tournament and defeated Sharobonav again on Tuesday 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.
Up next at world No. 28 is the debut of Khachanov, a former Paris champion. The 2018 winner was also a quarterfinan in 2023 and a short in 2024 and improved his career at 17-7 in the event with a 6-1, 6-1 monkey of Ethan Quinn on Monday. Khachanov absolutely loves this event, and apparently nothing changes in the new place. Fatigue could start to be a factor for Fonseca, too, in the heels of three tough games against HopolovOV.
Pick: Khachanov at 3
