The Paris Masters are constantly unpopular! Djokovic has two more powerful opponents on the road to men's singles championship!
Beijing time, on November 4, the 2021 ATP Paris Masters continued the second round of men's singles competition.
The No. 5 seed of the men's singles Russian star Lublev faced the American player Fritz who had the advantage in the previous match. Lublev performed poorly in the game. After two sets, he regretted to lose the game with a score of 5-7/(2) 6-7.
The No. 3 seed of men's singles, Greek star Tsitsipas and lucky loser Popelin from Australia, were defeated 2-4 in the first set. Popelin chose to withdraw from the game with a relaxed ease and easily won a place in the top 16 men's singles in this year's Paris Masters.
The elimination of two high-ranking seed players, including Lublev and Tsitsipas, also caused chaos in the men's singles first half of the Paris Masters' draws this year. Currently, the only eight seed players in the top eight men's singles first half of the Paris Masters' are Djokovic and Hukarci.
For Djokovic, who is determined to lock in the world's No. 1 in the year-end men's singles during this year's Paris Masters, he undoubtedly lacks two strong opponents on his men's singles championship.
Djokovic's third-round opponent in the men's singles was also confirmed in this day's game. He will compete with his old opponent French veteran Memphis for a place in the quarterfinals of men's singles this year. Memphis defeated another French player Manarino in three sets in the second round of men's singles.
Memphis Djokovic had suffered a cruel 17 consecutive defeats. This time, facing Djokovic who advanced one day earlier, he has no advantage in both physical fitness and comprehensive ability. Therefore, Djokovic should be able to successfully lock in a place in the men's singles quarterfinals this year for this year's Paris Masters.
