This is Sonego’s seventh appearance at the Paris Masters, with the Italian not making it past the second round in his six previous attempts. For Korda, this is the American’s fourth appearance at the Paris Masters, with his best outing coming at the 2021 edition, where he lost to Daniil Medvedev in the third round.
Korda’s form and injury concerns are major worries going into the match, whereas Sonego’s form this season has been inconsistent as well.
