Roger Federer has heaped praise on Rafael Nadal for his dominance throughout the year in most tournaments and stated that he has no regrets losing out the No.1 spot to him. However, the Swiss' only lament was that he couldn’t stay in contention for the Montreal finals, Cincinnati, and U.S. Open.

Paris Masters director Guy Forget has stated that Serbian ace Novak Djokovic met him last week and revealed that he has only played twice since his injury, that too with his left hand. The Serb, who has been out injured for four months now, will drop out of the world's top 10 rankings next week.

Diego Schwartzman has produced one of the best shots of the year against John Isner with an incredible behind-the-back shot in the second set which left his opponent completely distraught. Unfortunately, Isner recovered in the final set and sealed the match with a score of 7-6 (2), 6-7 (11), 6-3.

Rafael Nadal managed to win 7-5 6-3 against a persistent Hyeon Chung of South Korea in the second round of the Paris Masters, which also ensured that he would finish as year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings. Nadal will face Uruguay's world number 36 Pablo Cuevas in the last 16 in Paris.

Boris Becker has said playing Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal had brought the best out of Novak Djokovic, and that the Serb had found it difficult to stay motivated when the two missed the second half of 2016 with injuries.
