Strong emotions are approaching this coming week at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris 2026, and from the very first day. The layout of the final draw presents spectacular matchups from the first round, with duels that could shape the battle for the ATP Finals, as well as favorites for the title being pushed to showcase their best performance from the start.

It is worth noting that, as the draw consists of 64 players, there are only 16 seeded players, and of those, only the top 8 are exempt from playing in the first round. The effect of this measure is a clear increase in the demands from the very first match of the event, as well as seeing players like Novak Djokovic, outside of the top 8 in the world, having to face a very tough match right from his debut.

While it is true that the top title contenders, like Alcaraz and Zverev, do not play in the first round, there will indeed be amazing matchups between Monday, November 2, and Tuesday, November 3, the dates on which all matches of the initial round of the last Masters 1000 of the season will be resolved.

  • Learner Tien vs Stefanos Tsitsipas
