- ⚠️ Results are pinned to Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 20:35 CET (2:35 p.m. ET). By then Shelton had beaten Norrie 6-3, 6-4 in the second round, Struff-Gea was in progress, and Ruud-Jodar had not started.

What are the Paris Masters results so far?

The only two seeds to lose were No. 14 Brandon Nakashima, beaten by Matteo Berrettini, and No. 16 Francisco Cerundolo, who retired against Arthur Rinderknech. Scores are written ATP style: 7-6(5) means the set went to a tiebreak, and the number in parentheses is the points won by the player who lost the tiebreak. “ret.” means the opponent retired during the match.
In each table, the first column is the winner, the second is the player he beat, and the third is the score from the winner’s side.

How does the Paris Masters draw work, and who are the seeds?
The singles draw has 56 players on a 64-line bracket, and the top eight seeds get first-round byes. Zverev is the No. 1 seed and has been world No. 1 since the Nov. 2 rankings. Seeding used the rankings of Oct. 26. The ATP had already confirmed on Oct. 12 that Zverev would finish 2026 as year-end No. 1.
The 16 seeds:
- Alexander Zverev (Germany)
- Carlos Alcaraz (Spain)
- Ben Shelton (USA)
- Daniil Medvedev
- Flavio Cobolli (Italy): withdrew, left leg
- Arthur Fils (France)
- Frances Tiafoe (USA)
- Alex de Minaur (Australia)
- Rafael Jodar (Spain)
- Novak Djokovic (Serbia)
- Taylor Fritz (USA)
- Tommy Paul (USA)
- Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (Spain): withdrew, back
- Brandon Nakashima (USA): lost in the first round
- Learner Tien (USA)
- Francisco Cerundolo (Argentina): retired in the first round
Withdrawals and replacements. The ATP draw sheet lists four withdrawals, with the reason each player gave. Cobolli (left leg) was replaced by lucky loser Thiago Agustin Tirante, who takes Cobolli’s bye into the second round. Davidovich Fokina (back) was replaced by lucky loser Nuno Borges. Stefanos Tsitsipas (right shoulder) was replaced by lucky loser Adolfo Daniel Vallejo. Alexander Blockx (right ankle) also withdrew, and lucky loser Sebastian Baez got into the draw. Defending champion Jannik Sinner is not playing: the ATP lists him as out for the rest of 2026.
Who got in another way. The seven qualifiers are Rinky Hijikata, Mattia Bellucci, Lorenzo Sonego, Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Tomas Machac, Alex Molcan and Benjamin Bonzi. The four main-draw wild cards went to Frenchmen Moise Kouame, Kyrian Jacquet, Titouan Droguet and Arthur Gea. Holger Rune used a protected ranking, and Jan-Lennard Struff entered as a special exempt.
Doubles. The draw has 28 teams plus four byes. The seeds are Harri Heliovaara/Henry Patten (1), Christian Harrison/Neal Skupski (2), Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos (3), Marcelo Arevalo/Mate Pavic (4), Simone Bolelli/Andrea Vavassori (5), Kevin Krawietz/Tim Puetz (6), Julian Cash/Lloyd Glasspool (7) and Orlando Luz/Rafael Matos (8). Doubles uses a match tiebreak to 10 instead of a third set, shown here in brackets. First-round results at the pinned time:
- Bonzi/Rinderknech (WC) d. Galloway/Goransson 7-5, 7-6(4)
- Halys/Herbert (WC) d. Krajicek/Mektic 7-6(5), 1-6, [10-7]
- F. Cerundolo/Etcheverry d. Polmans/Zielinski 6-4, 1-6, [10-3]
- Nouza/Venus d. Cabral/Tracy 6-3, 3-6, [10-5]
- Bolelli/Vavassori (5) d. Schnaitter/Wallner 6-3, 3-6, [10-6]
- Krawietz/Puetz (6) d. Bonnaud/Branger 6-3, 3-6, [10-4]

How does Paris affect the race to the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin?
Paris is the last event in the race to the Nitto ATP Finals, held Nov. 15-22 at Inalpi Arena in Turin. The ATP says four of the eight places were still open going into the week. Zverev, Alcaraz, Shelton and Medvedev have qualified. Sinner qualified as well, but the ATP says he will not compete because of injury.
Here are places 5 to 10 in the ATP’s PIF ATP Live Race to Turin as of Monday, Nov. 2, after Basel and Vienna and before any Paris matches. “Q” marks a player who has qualified.
| Place | Player | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Medvedev (Q) | 3,820 |
| 6 | Cobolli | 3,690 |
| 7 | Fils | 3,535 |
| 8 | Tiafoe | 3,390 |
| 9 | Jodar | 3,194 |
| 10 | de Minaur | 3,170 |
The same ATP article put Djokovic 11th without giving his points total. Above the table, Zverev led with 9,350, followed by Sinner (7,950), Alcaraz (5,110) and Shelton (4,530). With Sinner not competing, ninth place is inside the cutoff, and the ATP described ninth-placed Jodar as entering the week “just inside the Nitto ATP Finals qualification cutoff.” Cobolli has since withdrawn from Paris, so he cannot add points this week. Every Paris result changes the live race, so treat the table as a dated snapshot, not the current standings. We don’t forecast who will make the field.
Djokovic, the tournament’s most successful player with seven titles, entered the week with 50 match wins in Paris, an event record, per the ATP. Alcaraz arrived from Vienna, where he beat de Minaur in the final; our Vienna Open guide has the full results.

How we verified this
Status pinned at Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, 19:35 UTC (20:35 CET, 2:35 p.m. EST). Shelton d. Norrie 6-3, 6-4 (second round) is final on ESPN and in the ATP singles PDF re-released Nov. 3 at 20:21:58 local time. At the pinned time Struff vs Gea (first round) was in progress, and Ruud vs Jodar, scheduled for not before 8:30 p.m. CET, had not started. Neither of those two is reported as a result.
Every singles score on this page comes from the ATP’s official main-draw PDF on protennislive.com (latest release Nov. 3, 20:21:58 local time) and was checked against ESPN’s ATP scoreboard data, read at 18:32, 18:36, 18:41 and 18:42 UTC. Michelsen d. Lehecka and Fritz d. Bonzi, first read on ESPN, now also appear in the ATP PDF with the same scores. Where the tournament’s own match report differs from the ATP PDF and ESPN, we followed the PDF and ESPN. The report calls Kouame’s opponent “Faria”, but the PDF and ESPN both show lucky loser Nuno Borges. It gives Khachanov-Shapovalov as 4-1 ret., but the PDF and ESPN have 1-4 ret. Doubles scores come from the ATP doubles PDF (released 19:28:12 local) and match ESPN.
Seeds, the rankings used for seeding, qualifiers, wild cards, lucky losers, withdrawals with the stated reasons, and prize money per round all come from the ATP draw PDFs. Wednesday’s order of play comes from the ATP’s op.pdf, released Nov. 3 at 7:22:11 p.m. local time. It was unchanged when re-downloaded at 18:41 and 19:34 UTC. Session start times and Sunday’s final times come from the ATP’s tournament preview. The ATP gives those times without a time zone, but the tournament is in Paris and the ATP gives the draw time in CET. All ET, PT and GMT conversions are our own: CET minus 6 hours for ET, minus 9 hours for PT, minus 1 hour for GMT.
Zverev clinching year-end No. 1 on Oct. 12 is from the ATP’s article of that date. His rise to world No. 1 in the Nov. 2 rankings is from the ATP’s Oct. 29 article (“Zverev to become World No. 1 next Monday, 2 November”) and the ATP’s Nov. 2 Race article. Sinner’s status (“out for rest of 2026” and “will not compete due to injury”) is from the ATP’s Nitto ATP Finals articles of Nov. 2 and Oct. 30. We do not name an injury because the ATP does not. The Race table, the remark that four places remain and the description of Jodar as “just inside” the cutoff are from the ATP’s Nov. 2 Live Race article. That article does not give Djokovic’s points total, so we don’t either. Djokovic’s records (seven titles and 50 match wins before this week) are from the ATP’s preview.
Broadcasters are from the ATP’s TV schedule page for Paris (read Nov. 3) and France Télévisions’ Oct. 13 press release. We did not check each broadcaster’s own listings. The page carries no odds, picks or predictions.
