Day 3 of the Paris Masters 2022 has a star-studded line-up, headlined by the return of 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal for the first time since becoming a father.
This will be the Spaniard's first competitive match since bowing out in the Round of 16 at the US Open in early September. He will start his title quest against World No. 31 Tommy Paul in the evening session.
Another first-time father, Daniil Medvedev, will take to the court at the Paris Masters on Wednesday. The Russian, however, has already played one tournament in Vienna last week after the big change in his personal life and ended up winning the title.
World No. 1 and reigning US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz will look to bounce back from his semifinal defeat in Basel in the French capital. Both Medvedev and Alcaraz will be in action in what is a packed day session at Court Central on Day 3, along with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Taylor Fritz.
Frances Tiafoe, Cameron Norrie, Basel champion Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Hubert Hurkacz are some of the other players to watch on an exciting day of tennis action.
