JKecmanovic has reached three semifinals this year and lost six times in the quarterfinals. As a result, he enters the tournament with a 38-25 season record. He has only won one match in his two previous outings at the Paris Masters, but he will be hoping for a stronger showing this time.

This year, he has already reached two ATP 1000 quarterfinals. One was in Indian Wells, while the other was in Miami.

Cameron Norrie

Norrie's standout achievements in 2022 included championship victories in Delray Beach and Lyon, as well as runner-up finishes in Acapulco and Los Cabos.

Norrie is competing in his third Paris Masters. He was eliminated in the first round on his debut and advanced to the third round in the previous tournament in 2021.

Norrie, who reached his first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon this year, has one Masters 1000 title to his name, which he won last year in Indian Wells. He was recently a semifinalist in Cincinnati and reached the fourth round of the US Open, his best achievement.
