The end of the tennis season is very close. In fact, it has already been known what the main draw of the last Masters 1000 tournament in 2025 will be like, in Paris. With Carlos Alcaraz (1st in the world ranking) and Jannik Sinner (2nd) As the main candidates, we leave you all the details left by the draw.

It should be noted that the prestigious French tournament, which will be essential to finish knowing who qualifies for the ATP Finals, will have seven weight losses of players in the Top 30: Novak Djokovic (5th), the highest historical champion of this tournament, Jack Draper (9th), Holger Rune (10th), Tommy Paul (20th), Frances Tiafoe (29th), Stefanos Tsitsipas (25th) and Arthur Fils (30th) will not be part.

Given this, the maximum preclassified will be as follows: Alcaraz (1st), Sinner (2nd), Alexander Zverev (3rd), Taylor Fritz (4th), Ben Shelton (5th), Alex De Miñaur (6th), Lorenzo Musetti (7th), Casper Ruud (8th), Felix Auger-Aliassime (9th) and Karen Khachanov (10th)..

Alcaraz, who could not pass the round of 16 in the last edition, will advance by bye and will debut against the winner of Cameron Norrie and the Argentine Sebastián Báez. In this part of the draw, Jiri Lehecka would emerge as the closest challenger, followed by Ruud in a hypothetical quarterfinal.

Sinner, on the other hand, will not have to defend points from the previous year since he was not part of the contest. His debut, from the second round, will be against the winner of the match between the American Alex Michelsen and the Belgian Zizou Bergs. Francisco Cerúndolo, best South American in the ranking, and Jakub Mensik, Miami champion this season, will meet in the first round and would be one of the risky rivals that the Italian would have in his journey, followed by a hypothetical quarter-final vs. Shelton.

The third top seed, Sascha Zverev, will have his first stop against the winner of a player from the classification or another albiceleste, such as Camilo Ugo Carabelli. In his way, the Italian Lorenzo Musetti appeared as the main obstacle in the quarterfinals.

Potential quarterfinals:

  • Carlos Alcaraz vs. Casper Ruud

  • Taylor Fritz vs. Alex De Minaur

  • Lorenzo Musetti vs. Alexander Zverev

  • Jannik Sinner vs. Ben Shelton
