Things are heating up as the race for the top spot in the ATP Rankings gets interesting. We have current World No. 1, Novak Djokovic, hoping to secure the top spot for the 7th time in his career. In doing so, he will be the first player to achieve the feat.

The only player who could stop Novak Djokovic is the player who beat him at the US Open 2021, Daniil Medvedev. The Russian player was the only player to beat him in a Grand Slam event this season. He beat him in straight sets in the final. Medvedev stopped Nole one stop of creating history, of winning the Calendar Slam.

Speaking about Paris, both these players practiced with each other prior to the beginning of the event. If all goes well, they will meet each other in the finals of the Rolex Paris Masters 2021. However, Djokovic could meet Tsitsipas in the semifinal if they sail smoothly in the initial rounds.

On the other side, Medvedev could face Zverev in the semifinal if they win their matches prior. Considering the German won the title in Vienna last week, this match would be an enticing affair.
