The final big tournament of the 2025 ATP season will take place in Paris, France, which will play host to the Paris Masters tournament from October 27-November 2, 2025.
An ATP Masters 1000 event, the Paris Masters is the ninth and final Masters 1000 tournament of the season. The tournament features a rich history, with the best players competing in a bid to secure any leftover spots at the year-ending ATP Finals in November.
Previous champions range from Swiss legend Roger Federer to Spanish dynamo David Ferrer and three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray. The event sees 56 elite singles players, alongside 28 doubles teams competing for the prestigious title in each division.
Alcaraz hopes to return from injury, Sinner and Zverev to compete
Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz has been one of the most in-form players during the North American hard court season, which culminated with him winning the US Open title in September. The World No.1 kept his winning streak alive with a title run at the Japan Open, but opted to skip the Shanghai Masters after sustaining an injury in Tokyo.

With Alcaraz set to compete in Paris, Italian Jannik Sinner will have to play his best tennis if he hopes to supplant the World No.1 in the ATP rankings. Sinner lost the top position after falling to Alcaraz in the final of the US Open, and both men could end up fighting for that spot should they meet in Paris.
Former World No.1 Daniil Medvedev is set to compete at the event, alongside German Alexander Zverev. The World No.3 is the defending champion at the Paris Masters, defeating surprise finalist and home favorite Ugo Humbert in last year's final. Below is the list of entrants.

Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees Jannik Sinner as the outstanding favourite.
For me Carlos Alcaraz is unlikely to figure in the reckoning. He's only played the Six Kings Slam and often struggles indoors. He has had to have courts built before in order to combat his ability on the indoor surface.
Something that Sinner does not struggle with. It is a bit of a weird complexion with Djokovic, Rune, Draper among those not playing either so I would also put Fritz, Zverev among others in the running to seal glory this next week.

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
