The 2019 World Tour Finals champion has only a slim chance of qualifying for the Year-End Championships. Currently sitting 12th in the standings, he needs a deep run in Paris to make it to Turin. Tsitsipas battled hard to secure his opening-round win against Roberto Carball\u00e9s Baena, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Meanwhile, Tabilo earned a great come from behind win in the opening round of the Paris Masters against Nuno Borges. However, he will likely need his best performance of the season to challenge Tsitsipas.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Tsitsipas in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Alex Michelson vs Hubert Hurkacz<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Head to Head: No Meetings<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>40-19 on the year, Hurkacz has been solid this season but hasn&#8217;t played much since the US Open, Michelson is at a career high ranking inside the top 50, he was a quarterfinalist in Tokyo and is 27-28 on the year, this rising 20 year old player has been performing well. Hurkacz should be favored but his form is questionable right now so an upset is in the cards.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Michelson in 3<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Arthur Fils vs Marin Cilic<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Head to Head: Fils 0-0 Cilic<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2174684891\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2174684891?et=P-qa9G0hTrRbRNXx9CkGwQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=U83afI3lkEinQxnttv0GwqcJQftcfE9fVqTObeYihKE=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Lastly, we have Arthur Fils taking on Marin Cilic. If this match had been played a month ago, Cilic would have been the clear favorite, given his impressive title win in Hangzhou. However, the 2014 US Open champion has since experienced a dip in form, currently on a three-match losing streak across Tokyo, Shanghai, and Basel. Meanwhile, Fils recently won in Tokyo and reached the semifinals in Basel, where he lost to Ben Shelton. Given that Cilic hasn\u2019t won a match since his Hangzhou title, he will enter as the underdog.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Fils in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: John E.
