 Francis Tiafoe versus Felix Ozealia Sim is the first quarterfinal for the Paris Masters for 2022. And both guys have had different roads to get to this stage. Tiafoe started the tournament off as the number 16 seed and will take on Senago the qualifier in the first round. And he had no troubles with Senago getting through in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. In the second round he took on the exciting youngster Draper and after an easy first set he had to fight to win in straights. Eventually winning in straight sets 6-3, 7-5. In the third round he would take on Alex Diminor who had just beaten Daniel Medvedev in the previous round. And after an easy first set again Tiafoe would have to fight in the second eventually getting through in straights 6-3, 7-6 to advance to the quarterfinal stage. Ozealia Sim entered the tournament as the eighth seed and would get a buy in the first round. In the second round he would fight against the qualifier Ema the first time in a long time he was in trouble and had to fight in the third set in a long match. Eventually prevailing 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 8-6 in the tie break. In the third round he take on the wild card and French veteran Jules Simon who had been very impressive during the week beating Murray and Fritz. But Ozealia Sim had no problems sending Simon into retirement 6-1, 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. These guys have played twice before with Ozealia Sim leading the head to head 2-0 with their last match being in Barcelona earlier this year. But the only time they played on a hard court was at the US Open last year and it was a 4-set match. If Tiafoe is going to win he's going to have to push Ozealia Sim around. FAA has been very aggressive the last few weeks and of course is on a really good win streak but he's got to be aggressive with Tiafoe. He's got to come to the net and be the bigger hitter. If Felix is going to win this he's going to have to serve well and use that forehand. That combination has won him his last three trophies and also has won him his matches this week. So he needs a serve to work and use that forehand and come to the net. He's been doing that a lot as well lately too. This is going to be a very fun match. I'm excited to see how Tiafoe puts himself up against one of the best players of the moment and the most informed player at the moment. But I'm going to go with FAA. I think he's going to win in three sets. I think big foe could take a tie break maybe the first or second. But I think it's going to be FAA in the end who may be facing Alcares or Runa in the semi-finals. But let me know down in the comments below who do you think is going to win this match.
