Players

56 players compete in the Paris Masters, with many of the world’s best playing both for the title itself and the final qualifying positions for the ATP Finals that take place between the 14th November to the 21st November.

Daniil Medvedev is the reigning champion and is looking to defend his title. Novak Djokovic has won this Masters five times and is the only player to date to have retained the trophy. Impressively, Djokovic has also won the tournament in three consecutive seasons between 2013 and 2015.

Boris Becker won the inaugural Rolex Paris Masters tournament at the age of just 18 years and 11 months and then went on to win the title a further two times.

The players currently competing for the final two qualifying positions for the ATP Finals are Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz, Jannik Sinner and Cameron Norrie. However, Hurkacz’ defeat to Andy Murray at the Vienna Open and the other three remaining in the competition puts Sinner, Norrie and Ruud in a stronger position.

There are a number of notable withdrawals from 2021’s tournament. Roger Federer is still recovering after receiving a third surgery on his knee.
