He already has seven Paris Masters titles within the bag, so no massive deal 😁
Consequently, it’s left to Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Alexander Zverev to headline the motion, and you may see the complete draw beneath.

Ideas on the Draw
High Half: Sinner and Zverev Headline
Seeded gamers: Jannik Sinner (1), Alexander Zverev (3), Taylor Fritz (5), Andrey Rublev, Alex de Minaur (9), Stefanos Tsitsipas (10), Holger Rune (13), Lorenzo Musetti (16)
Jannik Sinner lands on the high of the draw, and after a bye, he’ll need to hit the bottom operating with a match in opposition to Ben Shelton or a fortunate loser.
Initially, Felix Auger-Aliassime was Shelton’s scheduled opponent however withdrew after the draw had been made. Aliassime has had a poor 12 months, so that you’d choose Shelton both approach, though he could also be drained after his exploits in Basel.
Sinneer has solely ever performed three matches in Bercy, with only one match win. Nevertheless, based mostly on his season thus far, it’s laborious to look previous him making the latter levels, and he heads in with a cool $6 million in his checking account after profitable the Six Kings Slam.
Additionally in Sinner’s quarter are Alex de Minaur, Holger Rune and Taylor Fritz. Rune is the 2022 runner-up, whereas the situations swimsuit de Minaur’s velocity and baseline sport. Nevertheless, the Aussie continues to be taking part in in Vienna and does have some query marks about his health after a spell on the sidelines.
Fritz is coming in off a stellar 12 months, however he’s by no means reached the ultimate at an Indoor Event (except for taking part in effectively on the Laver Cup) and has solely been previous spherical 2 in Paris as soon as in 5 makes an attempt.
Within the backside part of the highest half, Zverev slots in because the third seed and heads in off the again of an early loss to Lorenzo Musetti in Vienna.
Rublev and Tstisipas are additionally on this part. The latter must win the title in Paris (and have outcomes go his approach) to make the ATP Finals, one thing he’s managed yearly since 2019.
Predicted semi-final: Jannik Sinner (1) vs Alexander Zverev (3)
Backside Half: Exhausting to look previous Alcaraz
Seeded gamers: Carlos Alcaraz (2), Daniil Medvedev (4), Casper Ruud (7), Grigor Dimitrov (8), Tommy Paul (11), Hubert Hurkacz (12), Frances Tiafoe (14), Ugo Humbert (15)
Within the backside half, Carlos Alcaraz is the second seed, and his part appears to be like very manageable, with both Nicolas Jarry or a professional participant within the second spherical.
Ruud, Paul, and Humbert are the opposite seeds on this quarter, and the Norwegians and People nonetheless have an opportunity to make Turin.
Paul boosted his probabilities of profitable the title in Stockholm however crashed out in his opening match to Nakashima in Vienna. Ruud misplaced within the first spherical in Basel, so his probabilities of being leapfrogged by De Minaur and Dimitrov are possible, barring a robust displaying in Paris.
The highest seed within the high part of the underside half is Daniil Medvedev, who has already certified for Turin.
The Russian has been coping with a shoulder downside, and though he performed the Six Kings Slam to get his paycheque, he hasn’t regarded in nice type not too long ago, so I’m not sure what to anticipate.
Dimitrov, Hurkacz and Tiafoe are the opposite seeds on this part, together with former champion Karen Khachanov.
I’d fancy Dimitrov to do one thing right here, however his legs gone in Vienna, so I believe Medvedev will make the semi-finals, given he hasn’t performed both of the ATP 500s this week.
Predicted semi-final: Carlos Alcaraz (2) vs Daniil Medvedev (4)
