Not to be confused with Roland Garros (the French Open), the Rolex Paris Masters is the 9th and final tournament in the ATP Masters 1000 world tour. Held in Bercy at the Accor Arena, the tournament is the one indoor tennis tournament of the tour and is much anticipated by players with attack-oriented playing styles.
Winning both the Rolex Paris Masters and the French Open is a dream for any professional tennis player, but the list of players who have achieved this is an exclusive club featuring only Roger Federer, Djokovic, Andre Agassi, and Ilie Năstase.

Getty Images In 2022, 19-year-old Holger Rune cinched the Rolex Paris Masters title from Djokovic with a career-defining 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 win. His defeat of the six-time champion certainly made ripples, but Djokovic is back this year with a vengeance, sights set again on the number one sport. Victorious in 45 of the 54 matches he’s played in the tournament; Djokovic is the only player with three consecutive Paris Masters wins and currently leads the ATP Masters Tour with 11795 points under his belt.
The competition only features a men’s category, so while you can hope to see the cream of the crop across men’s professional tennis, none of the big names in women’s tennis will feature.
