The measure didn't make sense, and it was only a matter of time before it was changed. The ATP has taken control of the situation, deciding that the eight spots granting entry to the ATP Finals will be based on the ATP Race coming from the Paris Masters. Therefore, the possibility for players to compete in the week before the Masters tournament, in Metz or Athens, in order to gain points, is eliminated.

🚨 Starting in 2026, the race to the year-end Masters will conclude after the Rolex Paris Masters. 🏁

Points earned the following week will count towards the Race for the next year.
