2022 Paris Masters ATP Draw with Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz & more
From October 31st until November 6th the final ATP 1000 event of the year is played in France as the 2022 Paris Masters draw features the best tennis players.
For some it's the last event of the season, for others it's a preparation for the upcoming ATP Finals and for some it's a fight for one of the remaining spots in the year-end event where only eight players qualify. There will be certainly no pressure on Carlos Alcaraz, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who all already secured their places.
All three will begin in the second round as they received a BYE in the first round as the first-seeded Alcaraz will await Aslan Karatsev or Yoshihito Nishioka. On the opposite site of the draw, no. 2 Rafael Nadal will wait for compatriot Roberto Bautista Agut or Tommy Paul.
Spaniard's biggest rival, Novak Djokovic was drawn in the same half and so already before the tournament start, we know that we won't see these two battle in the final. The Serbian is the sixth-seeded and he will meet Diego Schwartzman or Maxime Cressy.
Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas also secured their places at the ATP Finals earlier this year and they will have no pressure in the second round of the 2022 Paris Masters. The Norwegian will start against Alex Molcan or Richard Gasquet while the Greek player will meet Brandon Nakashima or Daniel Evans.
One of the players fighting for the spot in Top 8 is Andrey Rublev, who will kick-off his tournament against John Isner or a qualifier. Felix Auger-Aliassime can also begin against a qualifier or Alexander Bublik.
