The final Masters 1000 quarterfinals of 2025 will occur on Friday in Paris. Jannik Sinner, who can still mathematically finish as the year-end No. 1 if he wins the tournament, must beat Ben Shelton to keep those hopes alive. We predict all four matches, but which players do you expect to reach the semifinals?<\/p>\n
Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n
This is a significant test of Vacherot’s incredible<\/a> and unexpected winning streak at Masters 1000 tournaments. At his best, Auger-Aliassime is one of the best indoor hard-court players worldwide. Despite the Canadian’s impressive record at indoor events, I think the conditions will take Vacherot to victory. The courts in Paris are much slower than last year, which favors him more than Auger-Aliassime. Head-to-head: De Minaur 3-1 Bublik<\/p>\n Bublik’s victory against de Minaur at this year’s French Open<\/a> after losing the opening two sets 2-6 was remarkable. His losing three matches against the Australian before that made it even more stunning. That memory could give Bublik belief, but I still favor de Minaur slightly more on a medium-slow indoor hard court. His athleticism is a significant asset.
