Will Jack Draper get the win? Will Arthur Rinderknech pull off the upset? This will be a fascinating one, where we have a special talent taking on a local with a massive game. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 32 at the 2022 Paris Masters?

Jack Draper has been playing some great tennis lately, picking up several notable wins, such as against Tsitsipas in Montreal or against Auger-Aliassime at the US Open. As he comes into the Paris Masters, he’ll be weary of the challenge Arthur Rinderknech can present, let alone in front of his home crowd. However, Draper’s tennis lately has been very solid, so I expect him to go into this one with a lot of confidence as he looks ahead to the Round of 32 of the 2022 Paris Masters.

Arthur Rinderknech has been playing some good tennis, saving match points in several of his last matches to take out several top players. Unfortunately for the Frenchman, he has drawn Jack Draper in the first round, a tough break considering the level of the Brit is definitely higher than his ranking. If he wants to win this match, he’ll have to serve big and use his home crowd to try and fight for a spot in the next round here at the 2022 Paris Masters.

Jack Draper and Arthur Rinderknech have never met before, with this being their first career meeting. Both players are massive hitters, but Draper is more controlled and is willing to finish off points quicker while Rinderknech tends to play back and hit you from deep in the court. Against someone like Draper who himself is such an aggressive player, I can’t see Rinderknech being able to get past this one as Draper looks to march on at the 2022 Paris Masters.
