Paris Masters: Pair of Djokovic, Krajinovic advance to second round

Serbian pair of Novak Djokovic and Filip Krajinovic reached the second round of Paris Masters after defeating the Australian duo on Monday.

The Serbian pair rallied from a set down and saved seven of the eight break points they faced to edge Australians Alex de Minaur and Luke Saville 4-6, 6-4, 10-7 in one hour and 36 minutes in an entertaining match.

In the singles, Cameron Norrie recorded the 100th tour-level match win of his career in Paris to keep alive his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals in Turin. The 10th-seeded Briton won nine straight games from 2-2 in the first set to overcome Federico Delbonis of Argentina 6-2, 6-1 in 73 minutes.

Earlier, American Sebastian Korda recovered from squandering two match points in the second-set tie-break, edging Aslan Karatsev 6-2, 6-7(9), 7-6(5) to reach the second round in Paris, ending the Russian's ATP Finals hopes in the process.
