The Paris Masters is traditionally the last ATP 1000 event of the year, and it will be no different in 2022, as the tournament's entry list features the best of the best.
This year, the 2022 Paris Masters is held from October 31st through November 6th, and the event offers 1,000 points for the champion and more than 5 million euros in prize money.
Last year, Novak Djokovic defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final, and both players are expected to compete again. Previously, the likes of Djokovic, Medvedev, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, and Karen Khachanov lifted the trophy in Paris, but there is one man who misses a title from the Paris Masters.
Despite winning in the French capital 14 times, Rafael Nadal always triumphed at the Roland Garros and never at Paris-Bercy, and so in 2022, he will again challenge for the title at the final ATP 1000 event of the year.
Carlos Alcaraz leads the entry list as the 19-year-old Spaniard can finish the year as world number 1. Despite a lot of favorites like Djokovic, Medvedev, and Stefanos Tsitsipas, there will also be a lot of players who are not set to be seeded but can wreak havoc in the draw.
The 2022 Wimbledon Championships finalist, Nick Kyrgios, is expected to compete in Paris too, as he will prepare for the 2022 ATP Finals, where he should play in doubles.
This year's US Open semifinalist, Frances Tiafoe, is also among the participants, as the event will be attended by almost everyone from the Top 40.
Although former winners and high seeds will be top favorites, the likes of Hubert Hurkacz, Taylor Fritz, Jannik Sinner, and Felix Auger-Aliassime shouldn't be discounted either, especially in the indoor conditions.
