Novak Djokovic faces Valentin Vacherot in the first round of the 2026 Paris Masters, with the main tip being Djokovic to win in three sets. Djokovic has won 39 of his last 42 matches in Paris but has shown some inconsistency on hard courts. Vacherot, coming off a title win in Basel, may be affected by a short turnaround and potential fatigue. While Vacherot has demonstrated resilience, the quick recovery required could make it difficult for him to sustain his level, making a long match likely.

Valentin Vacherot showed his resilience to win the title in Basel but has had very little time to prepare for Paris. Novak Djokovic refuses to win easy so I am backing him to get it done in 3 sets.

Verdict

Novak Djokovic is the favourite here but has been inconsistent on the hard court swing. Valentin Vacherot is capable of winning a set in Paris, but fatigue could hurt him after winning a long match on Sunday.
