Alex de Minaur vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry preview
Alex de Minaur will begin his 2026 Paris Masters campaign against Tomas Martin Etcheverry after receiving a first-round bye. The Aussie arrives following an impressive run to the Vienna Open final, where he defeated Learner Tien, Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev before losing to Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 6-4. De Minaur has been one of the more consistent performers during the indoor hard-court swing and will be looking to carry that momentum into Paris as he pushes for a place at the ATP Finals.
Etcheverry, meanwhile, produced an impressive comeback to defeat Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-7(4), 7-6(3) in the opening round. The Argentine ended a six-match losing streak with that victory, showing resilience to recover after dropping the second-set tiebreak and eventually prevail in the decider. He had previously struggled during the indoor hard-court swing, suffering early exits in Vienna, Almaty and Shanghai. The win over Rublev should provide a timely confidence boost ahead of this challenging encounter.

Alex de Minaur vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry prediction
De Minaur has been in excellent form, reaching the Vienna final after impressive victories over Learner Tien, Matteo Berrettini and Alexander Zverev. His speed, court coverage and ability to redirect aggressive shots should allow him to control the baseline exchanges against Etcheverry. The Aussie is also far more comfortable on indoor hard courts, where his consistency and movement make him difficult to break down.
Etcheverry deserves credit for defeating Andrey Rublev in a deciding-set tiebreak in the opening round. That victory should boost his confidence, but he has struggled for consistency throughout the recent hard-court swing. His powerful groundstrokes can trouble De Minaur, although sustaining an aggressive level against the Aussie’s exceptional defence will be a difficult task.
Etcheverry could make things competitive with his serve and baseline power, but De Minaur’s superior movement, returning and recent match rhythm should prove decisive. The Aussie has won two of their three previous meetings and is well positioned to extend that advantage.
Pick: De Minaur to win in straight sets.
