We'll Always Have Paris...

 ATP Paris; WTA still zilch



Bogey said that, and that Casablanca feel is pretty apt in these times. So the men are having the last ATP Masters 1000 of the year, while the women are having a 2nd consecutive week of nothing much.

Rolex Paris Masters

Some weird metal structure in Paris

Yes, the rumors are true - they put neon signs on an ancient tomb and called it an Arena

Djokovic said no thanks as he can't gain any points in it, Nadal said sure, why not, no? and Federer is a good dad staying at home with his innumerable kids. That covers the goats, let's see the regular fauna. We have some withdrawals due to various reasons: injury, fatigue, maybe laziness from some? So Thiem, The Shap, Monfils, Dimitrov, Isner, Paire, Nishikori, Garin, Verdasco will not be in Paris either. Let's check the draw to see who's left in it. 56 players, top 8 seeds having byes. So the projected R16 looks like this:

1st Quarter

Rafael Nadal

Nadal[1] v Coric[15]
PCB[9] v Goffin[8]
Also in this section Lopez, Struff, Cecchinato.

2nd Quarter

Alexander Zverev

Zverev[4] v Dimitrov[15]Lajovic
The Man[12] v Rublev[5]
Also in here Millman, Mannarino, Evans, Simon.

3rd Quarter

Daniil Medvedev

Schwartzman[6] v The Khach[11]
De Minaur[16] v Medvedev[3]
Other notables: Gasquet v Fritz, Sonego, Anderson.

4th Quarter

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Berrettini[7] v Raonic[10]
FAA[14] v The Tsi[2]
Others in here: ARV, Herbert, Cilic, Moutet, Humbert v Ruud.

OOP
Daniil Medvedev and a tree (which I quite like!)
