After receiving a first round bye, fifth seed Ben Shelton faces unseeded Flavio Cobolli. This is a potentially tricky second round match in the Paris Masters for Shelton who is struggling for form. Here's our match prediction.
Round three will see the winner face either 12th seed Andrey Rublev, Jacob Fearnley or Learner Tien.
Shelton is sixth in both the live rankings and ATP Race. He has a bit of work to do to ensure his place in the Tour Finals. Recent form hasn't been good for the American with three of his last four matches ending in defeat.
The 23-year-old has a 25-11 hard court record this year with one Masters tournament won in Toronto. He beat Cobolli on his way to winning that tournament. He's level at 2-2 in previous meetings with Cobolli and 2-1 up on this surface. Three out of four matches went to three sets.
Flavio Cobolli beat Tomas Machac in straight sets in his first round match. The Italian is now 22nd in the live rankings.
He has a 12-18 record on hard courts this year but did recently reach the last eight in Almaty. He also took Jannik Sinner to a tie-break when they met in Vienna last week. We tip over 9.5 games to be played in the first set.
