Who are all the past champions of the Paris Masters? Which tennis player has won the most ATP Masters 1000 titles in Paris?
As the 2022 ATP season is coming to an end, the Paris Masters 1000 offers players a last chance to gain points for the ATP Race to Turin to qualify for the ATP Finals. Alcaraz, Nadal, Tsitsipas, Ruud, Medvedev and Novak Djokovic have already qualified. Rublev and Auger-Aliassime have the best chances to grab the last two spots. Also known as the Paris Indoors, the tournament is the only ATP Masters 1000 event played indoors. It is the last big event before the season ending ATP Finals and therefore one of the last chances for players to gain many points to improve their ATP ranking position before the end of the ATP season. THE HISTORY OF THE PARIS MASTERS In the late 1960s the event evolved out of the 'French Covered Court Championships' and was known as the 'Paris Open'. Until 1982 it switched its surface several times between Carpet and Hard Courts before being played continuously on Carpet from 1986 until 2006 when it changed to Hard courts. In 1971 an outdoor tournament was held in Paris in May, won by Stan Smith. Often, however, this event is not considered an edition of the Paris Open and therefore not included in statistics. In 1983 - 85 no tournaments were held at all. In 1990 the newly founded ATP included the Parisian tournament in the series that is known today as the ATP Masters 1000 series, consisting of 9 tournaments that are ranked only lower than the 4 Grand Slams and the ATP Finals. As Paris also hosts the French Open (Roland Garros) it is the only city to host 2 of the 14 most important Tennis tournaments on the tour. __________________________________________ ATP POINTS (since 2009) 1000 Champion 600 Finalist 360 SF 180 QF 90 R16 45 R32 10 R64 ______________________________________ MUSIC (licensed by Artlist) Depths - Risian _____________________________________ INFORMATION SOURCES - www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com - https://www.rolexparismasters.com/uk - Wikipedia |
