Daniil Medvedev defeated Jaume Munar 6–1, 6–3 in the first round of the Paris Masters on hard court, confirming pre-match expectations as the clear favourite at odds of 1.41. The Russian dominated the encounter, securing a comprehensive victory that required little more than a straightforward performance against his Spanish opponent, who entered as a substantial underdog at 2.85. Medvedev's control throughout both sets demonstrated the gulf in class between the two players, with the world number two converting opportunities efficiently to progress without apparent strain. The result maintains Medvedev's strong trajectory at the season's closing Masters event.
