Carlos Alcaraz has already enlisted two players to train with ahead of his appearance at the Paris Masters.
Alcaraz trained with the World No. 337 ahead of the Six Kings Slam, before finishing in second place to Jannik Sinner in Saudi Arabia.
The Spaniard has skipped the last two ATP 500 tournaments of the year in Vienna and Basel in order to prepare for the Paris Masters.
Alcaraz has already arrived at the French tournament and he’s been spotted practising with two top stars.
Carlos Alcaraz’s two practice partners at the Paris Masters
Alcaraz arrived at the Paris Masters on October 24, three days before the ATP 1000 tournament is set to begin.
The World No. 1 has been finding himself on the Paris Masters’ brand-new centre court and he has been playing with two top players.
Alcaraz has been pictured training with former top 10 player Karen Khachanov, as well as his Davis Cup teammate Pedro Martinez.
Martinez ensured Spain’s Davis Cup Finals status by defeating Holger Rune in the qualifier, and he also played Sinner at Wimbledon.
The Spaniard lost in straight sets to the Italian, who lifted the trophy by defeating Alcaraz in the final.
Khachanov, meanwhile, has seen his ATP Finals qualification hopes dashed by his downturn in form, but he still has an outside chance sitting at World No. 14.
What Carlos Alcaraz needs to do at the Paris Masters to stay World No. 1
Alcaraz gained the World No. 1 spot after defeating Sinner at the US Open, and he has a big chance to keep hold of it heading into 2026.
The Spaniard could have his status as the best player in the world wrapped up before he even plays the ATP Tour Finals in Turin.
If Alcaraz reaches the final of the Paris Masters, something he’s never done before, results will not matter in Turin.
If he reaches the semi-finals, Alcaraz will need one round robin win at the ATP Tour Finals, and he will need an extra win for every position lower than the semi-finals he finishes in Paris.
