Our previews of the matches to watch, and a summary of every day on the tours.

Preview · Hong Kong Open Wang's steadier serve or Ruzic's sharper rhythm? Xinyu Wang holds serve more reliably than Antonia Ruzic, but she's had three days off while Ruzic played yesterday. Both struggle when sets tighten, so the serve gap is the main separator. Predictionist leans to Wang, without much room to spare. Preview · Paris Masters Struff won easily in Beijing. Can Tirante force a third set? Jan-Lennard Struff beat Thiago Agustin Tirante 6-1 6-4 in Beijing and Predictionist makes him the clear favourite in Paris. Tirante's deciding-set record is the best argument for an upset. We lean Struff, as long as it doesn't go the distance. Preview · Paris Masters Can Rune's serve hold up against Paul's return? Holger Rune wins more of his service games than Tommy Paul, but Paul breaks serve more and has played far more this season. Predictionist likes Paul in Paris, with Rune's serve the reason the gap isn't wider. Preview · Hong Kong Open Can Kenin's serve keep her in it against Fernandez? Sofia Kenin arrives ranked No. 187 on an 8–27 season, and her serve is the question in this first meeting with Leylah Fernandez. Kenin has real arguments in a fresher schedule and a better tiebreak record, but Predictionist still sees a clear gap. Our lean is Fernandez. Preview · Paris Masters Can Tabilo solve Jodar again after two straight losses? Alejandro Tabilo beat Rafael Jodar easily in March, then lost to him twice, the latest only days ago in Basel. Jodar has the stronger season and the better rating. We lean his way, but Tabilo's serve gives him a real route back into this one. Preview · Paris Masters Arnaldi's clay form meets the hard courts of Paris Matteo Arnaldi beat Cameron Norrie the only time they met, and Arnaldi is ranked ahead of Norrie, but his hard-court season has been poor. Predictionist leans Norrie, giving him a 69% chance in Monday's 1/32-finals match. Preview · Paris Masters Rinderknech's steadier serve vs Cerundolo's sharper return Arthur Rinderknech is the more reliable server, but Francisco Cerundolo is the far better breaker, and that gap is the story of this Paris Masters opener. Rinderknech also won both earlier meetings, though they're from 2022. We lean Cerundolo, without much comfort.
