Key Details of the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025
Schedule and Timings of the Paris Masters 1000 2025
Nostalgic fans will be delighted this week as they can enjoy a Masters 1000 in the old-fashioned way. A reduced draw of 56 players in 64 slots, with bye only for the top eight in the world rankings in the first round, totaling 16 seeded players, and a one-week tournament duration. This is how the coveted Masters 1000 used to be, and this is how the Paris tournament will continue, starting on Monday, October 27, and concluding on Sunday, November 2.
Each day will begin at 11:00 a.m. in Paris, with evening sessions from Monday to Friday starting at 7:00 p.m., featuring two individual matches. On Monday, only first-round matches will be played, while on Tuesday, some favorites will enter in the second round, with the rest of the matches held on Wednesday. The round of 16 will take place on Thursday, quarterfinals on Friday, semifinals on Saturday, November 1, at 2:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., and the grand final on Sunday, November 2, at 3:00 p.m.

From the round of 16 onwards, they would compete on the same day.

Prize Money and ATP Ranking Points distribution at Paris Masters 1000 2025
Being a one-week Masters 1000 event with fewer players, the prize money amounts are slightly reduced compared to other events of this category. However, there are no differences in the ATP ranking points distribution, which is crucial this week due to the intense competition as several players vie to finish the year among the top eight and secure a spot in Turin.
- R1: €24,500 // 10 points
- R2: €44,220 // 50 points
- R3: €82,465 // 100 points
- QF: €154,170 // 200 points

Absences and Title Contenders at the Paris Masters 1000 2025
While the focus for the organizers was on Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's participation, numerous significant absences are notable, such as Djokovic, Draper, Rune, or Tiafoe. However, this doesn't diminish the media and sporting appeal of an event where Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur, Lorenzo Musetti, or Ben Shelton could emerge as strong alternatives to challenge the dominance of the Spanish and Italian players, the top favorites for the title.
All of them will arrive with the ambition to perform well in the tournament to earn the necessary points for a place in the ATP Finals 2025. Additionally, Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev cannot be discounted. Despite Zverev's lack of peak confidence, he will strive to rise from his slump here. A special mention goes to Felix Auger-Aliassime, known for his outstanding performance on indoor courts, also engaged in the battle to finish among the top eight this year.
