Jannik Sinner has complained that his Paris Masters draw is ‘very, very difficult’.

The world No. 1 was drawn to play the winner of Ben Shelton vs Felix Auger-Aliassime in the French capital.

Auger-Aliassime has since withdrawn, but Shelton could provide a tough test for Sinner.

The Italian said: "Yeah, very tough draw. Very, very difficult draw, especially here on these courts. You know, big servers are very tough. Yeah, it's a very, very tough draw."

He added: "It's going to be very difficult against Ben. It's very, very difficult in any case. And against Felix, I never won. So, you know, it's going to be a very tough one. You know, I'm looking forward to it."
