PARIS, Oct 25: Top 10 newcomers Juan Martin Del Potro and Gilles Simon will be keen to extend brilliant runs of form in the Paris Masters Series tournament starting on Sunday, with trips to the Masters Cup at stake.

Five players have already booked a ticket to Shanghai for next month’s season-ending event featuring the world’s top eight players.

The last three spots will be decided in the French capital with Argentine Del Potro and Frenchman Simon, who both recently broke into the world’s top 10 with impressive spells, well placed to grab one each.—Reuters
