Rublev Finds Out His Second Round Opponent at the Paris Masters

Andrey Rublev's Paris Masters Second-Round Opponent Revealed

Andrey Rublev has discovered his second-round opponent at the ongoing Paris Masters. The Russian star will face either qualifier Marc-Andrea Huesler or wild-card entrant Arthur Fils for a place in the last 16.

Rublev's Strong Start in Paris

Rublev, the sixth seed at the tournament, received a first-round bye. He will be looking to make a deep run in Paris, having reached the quarterfinals in 2021 and 2019.

The 25-year-old has enjoyed a solid season, winning two ATP titles and reaching the semifinals of the French Open and US Open.

Huesler and Fils' Path to the Second Round

Huesler, ranked 85th in the world, advanced to the second round with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Chun-Hsin Tseng in the first round. He has been in impressive form recently, reaching the quarterfinals of the Swiss Indoors last week.

Fils, a 19-year-old Frenchman, received a wild card into the tournament. He defeated fellow Frenchman Richard Gasquet 7-5, 6-2 in the first round, showcasing his potential.

Rublev Favored But Faces a Tough Test

Rublev will be the clear favorite against either Huesler or Fils. However, both players have shown good form in recent weeks and will be determined to cause an upset.

Huesler has a solid all-around game, while Fils is a rising star with an aggressive style of play. Rublev will need to be at his best to overcome either opponent and advance to the third round.
