Seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on unseeded Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the Paris Masters final. Tsitsipas is in only his second Masters semi-final of the year but his first on a hard court. He'll be hoping to reach his first Paris Masters final having been knocked out at this stage last year by Novak Djokovic, who is one of his possible opponents in the final. The Greek is sixth in the live rankings and the Live ATP Race. Reaching the last four in Paris has confirmed his place in the Tour Finals. August saw him win the hard court tournament held in Cabos but his form then slumped. He's back on track in recent weeks though and this is his third successive semi-final but he'll be hoping to win this one. So far in Paris he's beaten Felix Auger-Aliassime, tenth seeded Alexander Zverev and 16th seed Karen Khachanov without dropping a set.

Grigor Dimitrov was ranked 17th at the start of this tournament. His run to this semi-final has seen the Bulgarian climb to 15th and he'll rise another place if beating Tsitsipas. The 32-year-old is in his second successive Masters last four. He recently got to the semi-finals in Shanghai. He's only made it to one Masters final and that was when winning in Cincinnati six years ago. His form has been solid in recent weeks though with some big scalps being claimed. This week has seen him beat third seed Daniil Medvedev and 11th seeded Hubert Hurkacz but he's had to go to a final set in all but one of his four matches. His record against Tsitsipas is a poor one though with six losses in seven matches, two on clay. We go for Tsitsipas to win this match.
