The 2022 Paris Masters draw is set, with a potential semifinal between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic grabbing most of the headlines. The two greats were placed in the same half of the draw and tennis fans expressed their views on their respective paths ahead of another potential blockbuster.The Spaniard will have to overcome some tough challenges en route to that semifinal against Djokovic and more importantly to his maiden Paris Masters title, on his least favored surface. The Serb, meanwhile, is one of the overwhelming favorites in conditions in which he thrives.While a clash between the two players has always been a mouthwatering prospect for fans of the sport, some were disappointed to see them in the same half of the draw and it ended all hopes of another famous final."Nadal & Djokovic on the same half FFS!!

He could then face either Denis Shapovalov or compatriot Pablo Carreno Busta in the Round of 16, before a potential quarterfinal against Stefanos Tsitsipas or Cameron Norrie. If he does make the semifinals, he could face either the Serb or Casper Ruud before a possible against current No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the final.The Spaniard is also chasing the year-end No. 1 ranking and will need a strong result in Paris to make that happen.Meanwhile, Djokovic will kickstart his bid for a seventh Paris Masters title with a match against either Diego Schwartzman or Maxime Cressy. A Wimbledon rematch against Jannik Sinner is a potential Round of 16 clash, ahead of an exciting quarterfinal against third seed Ruud. Djokovic will enter the Paris Masters on the back of consecutive titles at the Tel Aviv Open and Astana Open.
