Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are on a Paris Masters collision course after the draw revealed a possible semi-final clash between the two iconic rivals.

Federer’s half of the draw contains sixth seed Alexandader Zverev, Fabio Fognini, and the hugely unpredictable Gael Mofils.

Nadal, meanwhile, will have to fight his way down a path that contains potential match-ups with Stan Wawrinka, Matteo Berrettini, and defending champion Karen Khachanov.

The other half of the draw is headlined by world number one Novak Djokovic, who has been handed a tough draw with Diego Schwartzman and Roberto Bautista Agut, and Stefanos Tsitsipas standing between him and a potential semi-final clash with Daniil Medvedev.
