Andrey Rublev continues his dominance in ATP Tour events this year as he lifted his fifth title of the season in Vienna last week, where he did not drop a set all week and defeated the likes of Dominic Thiem and Kevin Anderson. It was the in-form Russian’s second title on indoor hard courts this year as he emerged victorious in his home event at ATP St.Petersburg last month and is currently on a ten-match winning streak.

No player has won more titles on the main tour this year than Andrey Rublev, and thanks to this impressive run of results, the Russian made his top-10 debut recently and is currently sitting at his career-high ranking of #8. Additionally, he also secured his berth in the year-end ATP World Tour Finals. The 23-year-old Andrey Rublev will now look to use his momentum and register his first win in Paris Masters. He competed here twice in 2017 and 2019 but failed in the first round on both occasions against Fernando Verdasco and Jo Wilfried Tsonga, respectively.

While Andrey Rublev has bagged 47 wins at all levels so far in 2020, Radu Albot has gone 7/16 in these ten months. In fact, he registered his first win of the season only in Hamburg recently. Entering the main draw of Paris masters as a lucky loser this week, the Moldovan scored one of the biggest wins of his career by upsetting Hubert Hurkacz in the first round, 7-5 6-7 6-4. Radu Albot made his Paris Masters main draw debut during his career-best season in 2019 and made his way to the round of 16, defeating Nikoloz Basilashvili and Andreas Seppi.
