Ninth seed Alex De Minaur will take on Mariano Navone in the first round of the Paris Masters.

De Minaur has had a promising season so far, amassing 44 wins from 58 matches, including title-winning runs in the Mexican Open and the Libema Open. The World No. 10 also secured a runner-up finish in the Rotterdam Open, losing to Jannik Sinner in the finals.

The Australian is currently competing in the Vienna Open and is through to the semifinals, where he will face Karen Khachanov on October 26. De Minaur defeated Flavio Cobolli and Jan Lennard Struff in the first two rounds before overpowering Jakub Mensik 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-4 in a tight three-setter.

Mariano Navone, meanwhile, has had a modest run on the main tour this year. He's chalked up 18 wins from 40 matches, including runner-up finishes in the Rio Open and the Bucharest Open. He also reached the semifinals of the Morocco Open, where he lost to Matteo Berrettini in three sets.

The Argentine will enter Paris on the back of early exits in Vienna and Antwerp. Despite a spirited effort against Miomir Kecmanovic in Vienna, the Serb outclassed him in the first round, 6-2, 6-4.

Alex De Minaur is close to sealing his spot in the ATP Finals with an excellent run in the Vienna Open. The Australian has quickly found his rhythm after a short spell on the sidelines and will be determined to finish the season on a high. He will be one of the dark horses in Bercy and is expected to make a deep run.

Navone, on the contrary, has showcased his potential with two runner-up finishes on the main tour. He still needs to raise his level to challenge the best players and establish himself as a serious competitor. The Argentine has a resilient all-around game and likes to take risks at regular intervals.

De Minaur will undoubtedly be the favorite to come out on top in the first round. The ninth seed will need to play out of skin against a solid opponent like Navone but is expected to navigate past this challenge and continue his good form in the Paris Masters.

Pick: De Minaur to win in straight sets.
