Jack Sock and Filip Krajinovic have written their own fairytales at the Rolex Paris Masters. But only one can complete their dream run in Sunday's final, the last ATP World Tour Masters 1000 match of the season. The American right-hander entered the event at No. 24 in the Emirates ATP Race To London, with little hope of qualifying for his first Nitto ATP Finals. In the second round, which was Sock's opener, he found himself down 1-5 in the third set against Kyle Edmund before rallying to advance. Now, he is into his first Masters 1000 final. "To be completely honest, I had no idea I could still make London even if I was to win the tournament. I didn't...
Just two tournaments ago, Jack Sock brought a five-match losing streak to an end. When he arrived in Paris, the American was No. 24 in the Emirates ATP Race To London. So when the 25-year-old trailed Kyle Edmund 1-5 in the third set of his opening match at the Rolex Paris Masters, it looked like his season would come to a disappointing end. Sock could not have imagined that just three days later he would defeat wild card Julien Benneteau, 7-5, 6-2, to advance to his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 final. "I was able to go out today and play my game, swing big, kind of like I always do, and play some good tennis and get through,"...

It took 44 weeks, but the ATP World Tour has its Cinderella story of the 2017 season. Armed with an arsenal of big backhands and plenty of grit and guile, Filip Krajinovic completed an improbable run to the Rolex Paris Masters final on Saturday, edging John Isner in a deciding tie-break. Another American, Jack Sock, awaits in the championship clash. Krajinovic entered the week in Paris with just one match win at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 level, but the Serbian mounted a stunning charge to reach his first final, notching a 6-4, 6-7(2), 7-6(5) victory over Isner. At No. 77 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, he is the lowest-ranked player to contest a Masters 1000 title match since...
Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo have made a home for themselves on the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 stage, and they would continue their dominant run of form in reaching the Rolex Paris Masters final. The second-seeded Polish-Brazilian duo will contest a fifth Masters 1000 final of the year on Sunday, following a convincing 6-4, 6-2 victory over Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares in Saturday's semi-finals. Following an opening round walkover, the tandem have not dropped a set all week, also breezing past Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez. Champions on the hard courts of Miami and clay of Madrid as well as runners-up in both Indian Wells and Shanghai, Kubot and Melo are the first team to reach five Masters...
