The ultimate Masters 1000 of the season is right here, and whereas the Race to Turin is all however settled, there’s nonetheless a lot on the road in Paris with rating factors, 25% bonuses and one final likelihood to finish the 12 months on a excessive.

This 12 months’s Rolex Paris Masters marks the match’s first full version at La Défense Area, Europe’s largest indoor venue, with the Bercy now a factor of the previous.

High Half

Seeded gamers: (1) Carlos Alcaraz, (8) Casper Ruud, (9) Félix Auger-Aliassime, (12) Andrey Rublev, (13) Alexander Bublik, (14) Jiří Lehečka, (15) Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, (16) Daniil Medvedev

Projected Semi-Ultimate: Carlos Alcaraz (1) vs. Casper Ruud

Carlos Alcaraz returns to motion for the primary time since his Tokyo triumph, trying to finish his season on a excessive and seize his first Rolex Paris Masters title.

He opens towards both Cameron Norrie or Sebastián Báez, a pair of difficult opponents identified for his or her consistency, although neither has been significantly threatening of late.

A possible third-round encounter with Jiří Lehečka might await, and he’s confirmed he can hold with Alcaraz in a few of their earlier conferences.

Shanghai finalists Vacherot and Rinderknech additionally sit on this part, and will probably be fascinating to see if they’ll replicate the extent they confirmed in Asia now that they’re again on residence soil.

Elsewhere on this half, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Casper Ruud are potential quarter-final opponents for Alcaraz. Aliassime retired in his match in Basel as we speak, which all however ended his Turin hopes, so there’s in all probability an opportunity he doesn’t play.

Ruud additionally retired towards Davidovich Fokina so his health additionally has query marks round it, will he present up in Paris simply to keep away from the 25% bonus deduction if he weren’t to play? Perhaps.

The second quarter options Taylor Fritz (4) and Alex de Minaur (6). Fritz’s opener is a bye, however his part is full of difficult chaos retailers like Corentin Moutet, Alexander Bublik and Terence Atmane, whereas De Minaur’s hall options Tallon Griekspoor/Gabriel Diallo, Shapovalov/Fonseca and presumably Karen Khachanov, the 2018 champion, though the change in venue does probably render previous performances in Paris much less of an element.

Backside Half

Seeded gamers: (2) Jannik Sinner, (3) Alexander Zverev, (5) Ben Shelton, (7) Lorenzo Musetti, (11) Daniil Medvedev, (12) Andrey Rublev, (15) Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, (16) Jakub Menšík

Projected Semi-Ultimate Alexander Zverev (5) vs Jannik Sinner (2)

Alexander Zverev (3) anchors the highest quarter of the underside half with Lorenzo Musetti (7) seeded throughout. Zverev’s early rounds look manageable, however Davidovich Fokina or Ugo Humbert could be difficult; the latter, specifically, is an actual handful indoors, and he’s at present within the final 4 over in Basel.

Musetti is at present nonetheless within the Vienna match and will face Daniil Medvedev within the third spherical. Meddy ended his title drought in Almaty, however I’m nonetheless not bought on his degree, and he simply doesn’t appear capable of hit by the blokes he used to dominate 2/3 years in the past.

Grigor Dimitrov can be again within the draw after his horror Wimbledon damage, however he’s in need of match play and faces big-serving Mpetshi Perricard in his opener. A 12 months in the past, GMP would have been the recent favorite, however he hasn’t been capable of replicate his 2024 season, so a Dimitrov win isn’t out of the query if he can hit the bottom working.

Jannik Sinner (2) headlines the underside quarter within the backside half and opens towards Alex Michelsen or Zizou Bergs. Sinner’s depth and tempo management indoors have been ruthless of late, so I can see him utterly sweeping the indoor season with Vienna, Paris and Turin all heading his manner

Ben Shelton (5) is the seed to satisfy him within the quarters, however he’s struggling to get again to his finest after the shoulder damage, and he’ll must navigate David Goffin/Alexandre Muller and presumably Andrey Rublev (12), who’s at all times a handful underneath a roof. Jakub Menšík (16) is a stay floater if he’s match after he withdrew from his match on the Swiss Indoors.

Who do you assume wins the Paris Masters? Is Sinner a lock for the title?
