De Minaur is also looking to further strengthen his position in the ATP Finals Race after climbing into eighth spot with his R16 victory, while Rune needs to win what would be his second Paris Masters crown in order to keep his slim chances alive.

Head To Head


Currently locked at 2-2, although Rune has won both previous indoor meetings. De Minaur won both encounters in 2023 and this will be their first clash of 2024.

Alex de Minaur Form


It's been an incredible season for De Minaur, with the Aussie registering a 47-15 record and surging to a career-high ranking of No. 6 in the world.

De Minaur has won two ATP titles in Acapulco and s-Hertogenbosch, along with reaching three straight Grand Slam quarter-finals at Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open.

The 25-year-old would have most likely already secured his debut appearance at the ATP Finals if not for the hip injury sustained at Wimbledon, which took him out until the US Open, while he also missed another month after leaving Flushing Meadows.

After making the semi-finals last week in Vienna, De Minaur has leapfrogged Andrey Rublev into eighth place in the ATP Race with wins over Mariano Navone, Miomir Kecmanovic and Jack Draper this week, ending the Brit's seven-match winning streak in the R16.

De Minaur will overtake Casper Ruud and Novak Djokovic if he can win one more match in Paris and with Rublev competing in an ATP 250 event next week, the Aussie still has work to do in order to confirm his ticket to Turin.

Holger Rune Form


It hasn't been a great season for Rune, who has fallen from a career-high ranking of No. 4 to a current mark of No. 13, registering a 44-22 record on the season.

Rune just hasn't been able to generate any meaningful momentum on tour and has consistently switched coaches, disrupting his rhythm.

Nevertheless, the Dane still has an outside shot at the ATP Finals, but he would have to win this tournament and then make an impact again in an ATP 250 event next week.

In saying that, winning the Paris Masters wouldn't be anything new for Rune - he famously claimed the biggest title of his career here two years ago, defeating Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic along the way.

Rune has dropped just one set on his way back to the quarter-finals in Paris, defeating Matteo Arnaldi, Alexander Bublik and Arthur Cazaux.

Verdict

De Minaur used up a lot of mental and physical energy to outlast Draper to climb into 8th spot in the ATP Race, so you've got to wonder how much he has left in the tank, especially when you take his hip into consideration as well.

Rune has largely cruised this week and he has fond memories of this tournament, winning the title in 2022. It should be a close one, but leaning with Rune to edge it.
