Carreno Busta to play Mahut on Tuesday, while Querrey faces Krajinovic
With two spots remaining at the Nitto ATP Finals, Pablo Carreno Busta and Sam Querrey begin their final campaign for qualification on Tuesday in Paris. Carreno Busta, who currently occupies the last London spot, faces French wild card Nicolas Mahut in one of three second-round matches. The Spaniard broke into the Top 8 of the Emirates ATP Race to London after defeating a record four qualifiers en route to the US Open semi-finals, one of whom was the 35-year-old Mahut.
Also in second-round action, Querrey meets Serbian qualifier Filip Krajinovic. If Querrey and Carreno Busta both win on Tuesday, they will meet in the third round with the Spaniard’s Race position on the line. If Querrey wins and Carreno Busta loses on Tuesday, they will be tied with 2,615 points. Carreno Busta owns the tiebreaker because he has earned more points than Querrey at Grand Slams and mandatory ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events.

Nitto ATP Finals qualifier Dominic Thiem plays in the other second-round match against German lucky loser Peter Gojowczyk. Thiem is ranked a career-high No. 6, but he has yet to reach a semi-final off of clay courts this season. The Austrian has struggled throughout his career during the fall. Thiem is 12-20 lifetime in October and November with one quarter-final and no semi-final finishes.
The last eight matches of the first round are also on Tuesday’s schedule, including a pair of France vs. Spain showdowns. French wild card Pierre-Hugues Herbert faces Feliciano Lopez, who beat him 7-6(3), 6-4 in the 2016 Rolex Paris Masters first round. Then, Adrian Mannarino looks to end his sensational season on a high note against David Ferrer. Mannarino has earned 24 of his career-high 32 wins this year since June 25, when he began his run to the inaugural Antalya final.

There are three showdowns between French and Spanish players for fans to enjoy today, as well as world No.6 Dominic Thiem making his tournament bow.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert .v. Feliciano Lopez : the rematch
As is the case for all of the French players who have an eye on the forthcoming Davis Cup final, this year’s Rolex Paris Masters is something of a dress rehearsal. For Pierre-Hugues Herbert, it is a perfect opportunity to prove that while he is a talented doubles player, he is first and foremost someone you can rely on in singles. And in Lille next month, who knows, maybe he will get the call on the Friday or the Sunday. The man from Alsace currently sits at No.75 in the world and has been treading water this year (after beginning the season at No.78). Today he faces Feliciano Lopez – a 36-year-old veteran who nevertheless is still one of the men to beat on the ATP circuit. While grass is certainly his favourite surface (he even won Queens this year), hard courts seem to suit the Spaniard’s game a little less. Coincidentally, the flamboyant Frenchman and the attacking Spanish lefty already met in the first round at the AccorHotel Arena last year, with Lopez squeezing through 7-6, 6-3.

Adrian Mannarino .v. David Ferrer: upwardly mobile versus downward slope
The match of the day in terms of the ATP rankings sees world No.28 Adrian Mannarino take on David Ferrer, who is six spots below him. The two men are finally crossing paths this autumn in terms of their careers. At 35, Ferrer is slowly but surely winding down on the circuit, while Mannarino, six years his junior, is enjoying the purplest of patches. He is now French No.3 and on a consistent run of form that saw him recently make the final in Tokyo. He even managed to rattle Roger Federer last week in Basel before falling in three sets. Ferrer meanwhile may be a past winner of the tournament, some five years ago, but is having a tougher time of things in 2017, although he did lift the trophy in Bastad in Sweden this summer. His legendary pride and never-say-die attitude however mean that he will always be a worthy adversary, regardless of the circumstances.

Nicolas Mahut .v. Pablo Carreno Busta: high stakes
This could be a chance for Nicolas Mahut to pull off a real coup. The Frenchman is ranked exactly 100 places lower than his opponent, but having seen off Vasek Pospisil in the first round, he can have legitimate hopes of what would be a famous victory over Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta. And with the Davis Cup final just around the corner and French captain Yannick Noah doubtless keeping a keen eye on the contest, Mahut has extra motivation as he prepares to take on the world No.11, not to mention the fact that a win today could secure his spot in the main draw of next year’s Australian Open. The Spaniard on the other hand has been struggling since making the semi-final of the US Open in August, with four defeats in his last five matches – a run which has left his hopes of making the ATP World Tour Finals hanging by a thread. Paris is very much the last-chance saloon if he is to turn things around in time for London.

Dominic Thiem - Peter Gojowczyk: nothing / everything to lose / gain
Austria’s Dominic Thiem is the first big seed in action at the Rolex Paris Masters this year. The world No.6 has had a quiet time of things this autumn, with no stand-out performances to his name. He nevertheless has the ATP World Tour Final in his sights for the second consecutive year, which will hopefully see him showcase some of the tennis that we know he is capable of. His opponent today though will be able to play with the insouciance of one who has already got further than he could have hoped. 26-year-old world No.62 Peter Gojowczyk lost in the qualifiers to fellow German Jan-Lennard Struff, but scraped in the main draw as a lucky loser. Grabbing his second chance by the scruff of the neck, he then proceeded to see off Ryan Harrison 7-6, 6-3 in the first round. Thiem will have to be on his guard today.
