The Rolex Paris Masters is an annual ATP Masters 1000 tennis event – the ninth and final such event of the year. Originally known as the Paris Open, the first tournament took place in 1969, but the history of the event can be traced back even further, to the first edition of the French Covered Court Championships in 1895. In 1989, the tournament's popularity prompted its promotion to the high-status Tennis Masters tour level – now the present-day ATP Masters 1000 – where it has remained since. This hard court tournament is currently the only ATP Masters 1000 event that is played exclusively indoors.
As one of the final tournaments of the men’s season, the Paris Masters sees players bring their absolute best in order to maximise their ranking points, as they vie for a place in the prestigious end-of-year ATP Finals; the star-studded player field and refined Parisian setting combine to make this event one of the most glamourous stops on the professional tennis circuit!
