It was the last draw for the Rolex Paris Masters held within the walls of the Accor Arena. After 38 years in Bercy, the tournament will migrate to the Paris Defense Arena in 2025. The tournament, whose draw was made by Richard Gasquet and without Novak Djokovic, who is not coming looking for his eighth title, could reserve the perfect poster in the final between Carlos Alcaraz already winner in Paris and at Roland-Garros in the spring and the world number 1, the Italian Jannik Sinner. The two men will not be able to face each other until the final Sunday. Except that the road to get to that point is still long.
The Italian will probably have to cross paths with Alexander Zverev, seeded number 3, Holger Rune who could be a rival in eighth place, Taylor Fritz or Stefanos Tsitsipas. Alcaraz inherited No. 5 seed Daniil Medvedev as his main opponent.
The French did not allow themselves to be spoiled in the draw by their compatriot Richard Gasquet. Only Ugo Humbert (16th) and Arthur Fils (20th) are at the final table while Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (50th), Adrian Mannarino (57th), Arthur Rinderknech (61st) Richard Gasquet who benefits from the invitations of the FFT are in the lower part of the table.
They are against Cilic in the first round
They will have difficult opponents from the first round. Ugo Humbert will face the American Brandon Nakashima (38th) in the first round. Arthur Fils will start against former world number 3 Marin Cilic, who has fallen to 202nd place but is still dangerous. Six Frenchmen will also compete in the qualifiers from 26 October: Alexandre Müller (68th), Corentin Moutet (70th), Hugo Gaston (73rd), Arthur Cazaux (80th), Quentin Halys (90th) and Harold Mayot ( 106°).
