Three Storylines to Watch from the 2026 Paris Masters Entry List
Sinner’s Absence Opens the Door in Paris
Jannik Sinner leads the ATP rankings with 11,000 points, followed by Alexander Zverev (9,720) and Carlos Alcaraz (5,560). With Sinner absent from Paris, Zverev has an opportunity to narrow the gap at the top, while Alcaraz looks to strengthen his position among the game’s elite.
The Race to Turin Heats Up
Alexander Zverev leads the ATP Race to Turin with 8,750 points, followed by Jannik Sinner (7,950) and Carlos Alcaraz (4,560). Ben Shelton sits fourth with 4,430 points, just ahead of the 4,500-point qualification benchmark. With Shanghai underway, Paris could prove decisive for several ATP Finals hopefuls.
French Players Chase Home-Court Success
Arthur Fils, Ugo Humbert, and Arthur Rinderknech headline the French contingent at the Paris Masters. Luca Van Assche, Quentin Halys, and Arthur Géa are also on the alternate list. With potential wild cards still to be awarded, the home nation could have an even stronger presence in the main draw.
