Buoyed by his title run in Basel, Valentin Vacherot emerges as an enticing underdog pick at +180 to win over Novak Djokovic in the first round of the 2026 Paris Masters.
Current Form:
Novak Djokovic has gone 1-2 since winning the China Open title. After bombing out in the second round of the 2026 Shanghai Masters (4-6, 3-6 loss to Hubert Hurkacz), Djokovic reached the second round of the 2026 Swiss Indoors Basel. He picked up a win over Ugo Humbert, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, before bowing to Jan-Lennard Struff, 7-6, 5-7, 6-7.
Valentin Vacherot captured his second ATP title after besting Jiri Lehecka 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 for the 2026 Swiss Indoors Basel championship. Vacherot dispatched several big names in the tournament, including Spanish rising star Rafael Jodar, former top-10 Holger Rune, current top-10 Taylor Fritz and perennial top-20 Lehecka.
The Matchup: Djokovic is listed as a -224 favorite, but Vacherot is oozing with upset potential mainly because he has already defeated the former world No.1 before, and he’s coming off a title in Basel.

Our Novak Djokovic vs Valentin Vacherot Prediction
Key Stats: Valentin Vacherot dropped only 9 service games on his way to the Basel Indoors title. Vacherot also averaged 12.6 aces and won 75.5 percent of first-serve points while going 4-0 in tiebreaks in that tournament.
Betting Analysis: Take a risk on Vacherot to win over Djokovic. Vacherot is riding a huge wave of momentum into Paris and already has a concrete game plan to beat Djokovic, who is no longer as consistent as he was during his prime years. If Vacherot sustains his dominance on serve, he has a strong chance to pull off an upset over the former world No.1 again.
Fearless Forecast: Valentin Vacherot wins 6-3, 3-6, 7-5
