The rivalry betweenCarlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner moves to the Paris Rolex Masters, the last ATP Masters 1000 of the season, which features more than one trap for the young Italian. Carlitos and Jannik are obviously the favorites to win the title, but there will be some outsiders ready to put the Spaniard and the Italian in difficulty, in what is historically one of the most unpredictable tournaments of the season.

The organizers of the Paris-Bercy eventhave released the main draw of the competition, starting from Monday 28 October until Sunday 3 November. It is naturally the ATP number 1 Jannik Sinner who leads the main draw. Even on this occasion Jannik was not particularly lucky with the draw. After the bye of the first round, the Italian will have to challenge the winner of the match between Ben Shelton (one of the most dangerous tennis players that the top-tier players could meet in a short time due to the only 16 seeds) and the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime.
In the third round, the possible opponents are Holger Rune and Matteo Arnaldi, who will face each other in their first match. In the quarterfinals, the main threat is represented by Taylor Fritz, as well as Alex de Minaur, recovering from injury, while in the semifinals there could be Alexander Zverev. Fewer pitfalls, in theory, for Alcaraz. The 4-time Slam champion finds himself in the bottom-half with Daniil Medvedev and finds himself facing opponents like Tommy Paul and Casper Ruud in his path.
