Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot faces the 14th seed Jiri Lehecka in round one of the Paris Masters. Vacherot was given a wild card to play in this indoor hard court tournament. Read our match prediction below.
Life has changed dramatically in recent weeks for Valentin Vacherot. He was ranked outside the top 200 before winning the Shanghai Masters tournament. Now he's 40th in the live rankings.
Since that unexpected title win, Vacherot has only played one tournament. That was in Basel last week and he lost in round one to Taylor Fritz, though he did take a set off the world number four. This is his first time in the Paris Masters and he's never played Lehecka before.
Jiri Lehecka is at 18th in the live rankings and he's playing in this Masters tournament for the fourth time but has never made it past round one. The Czech recently made it to the final of the European Open in Brussels, losing to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
He followed that up with a first round exit in Basel to Botic van de Zandschulp. He has a 26-13 record on hard courts this year (compared to 18-10 for his opponent) with one title won in Brisbane.
We tip more than 22.5 games in this match.
