 Stefano Citi Pats vs. Grigory Dmitrov is the first semi-final for the Paris Masters for 2023. And both have been impressive to get to this stage. Dmitrov started the tournament off, unseated and will take on Moussetti in the first round. And after dropping the second set, will fight back to win 6-2, 6-7, 6-3. In the second round, he take on the number three seed, Mehvedev, who he'd had a battle with the previous week in Vienna. And this was no different with Dmitrov losing the second set and having to fight in the third, getting through in three, 6-3, 6-7, 7-6. In the third round, he take on Bublik. And this is by far the easiest match of the week. Getting through in straights, 6-2, 6-2. In the quarterfinals, he take on the 11th seed, Hercatch, who was trying to get to the AWP finals and needed a win. And after a hot start, Dmitrov would eventually win in three, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, to advance to the semi-finals. Citi Pats started the tournament as the number seven seed, and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round, he take on Oshali Asim. This is no problem getting through in straights, 6-3, 7-6. In the third round, he take on Zverev. Number 10 seed, this is no problem getting through in straights. 7-6, 6-4. In the quarterfinals, he take on the 16th seed, Hashinov, who had started getting some form late in the season, but this was too easy for Steph, getting through in straights. 6-3, 6-4, to advance to another Paris semi-final. These two have played seven times before, with Citi Pats holding a 6-1 lead. However, the last two matches they've played have been tiebreak third sets, with Citi Pats taking it. If Dmitrov's going to win this one, he needs to be aggressive, like he has been in the last few months. He's been so good. He's beaten guys like Elkaraz and Mevredev by playing this aggressive style, coming to the net a lot as well. It's really fun to see him playing like this. He needs to do that if he's going to beat Steph. If Steph's going to win this one, he needs to serve well, and he kind of needs to get on the front foot. He doesn't want to get in a slice off with Dmitrov, and he doesn't want to try and outcraft him, I guess you could say. He wants to make sure he's aggressive. He just go to the fundamentals and use his shots, especially to serve. This is going to be so fun, with the last two times being so close, and the way that Dmitrov's playing right now, he could legitimately have a chance to win, but I have to go with Citi Pats. That 6-1 record's a little bit too one-sided for me, and I reckon he gets to win straights, gets to the final of Paris, but let me know down in the comments below who's going to make the final.
