Limited energies, duties fulfilled by the best, excitement to secure a spot in the 2024 ATP Finals... There are many ingredients that make the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024 a special tournament where surprises can be anticipated. Despite Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner being the top favorites, many players with significant stakes at hand will be vying for a title to add shine to their season.

- Calendar and Timings of the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024

One of the few remaining Masters 1000 tournaments still held within a single week is this event, which presents a set of unique characteristics. The main highlight is the final phase taking place from Monday, October 28, to Sunday, November 3. The final is set to start at 3:00 pm, with the semifinals scheduled at 2:00 pm and not before 4:30 pm. Each day will have a daytime and nighttime session starting at 7:00 pm, featuring two matches each. Tuesday will see first and second-round matches, while Thursday will host the round of 16.

- Main Draw Ceremony and Seeds at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024

The draw ceremony for the final brackets is a crucial element that shapes the course of the event, set to take place on Friday, October 25, at 7:30 pm, determining the placements of the 56 players slotting into a 64-player field. Only the top eight seeds receive a bye in the first round, and their order has been analyzed in another article. The draw can be followed live through Puntodebreak's Youtube channel.

- Potential Matchups for the Favorites and Avoided Rivals

Sinner and Alcaraz are aware that they could only meet in a theoretical final. Additionally, the potential semifinal opponents for the Italian and Spanish players would be Medvedev or Zverev. A challenging hurdle in the quarterfinals could arise from Dimitrov, who is fighting for a spot in Turin and was last year's runner-up in this event. Rune, Tiafoe, Humbert, or Musetti are potential opponents for the top four players in the world in the round of 16.

In the second round, they are guaranteed not to face a seeded player, but this does not diminish the danger of potential matchups, as notable names like Draper, Fils, Shelton, Khachanov, Machac, Auger-Aliassime, or Berrettini could pose the first test for any of the 16 tournament seeds, provided they navigate through their first-round matches.

- Prize Money and Points Distribution at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024

The monetary rewards are slightly lower than other Masters 1000 events due to the one-week duration, but the organizers have made an effort to increase the figures by about 3% compared to the previous edition. However, the points distribution remains consistent with other tournaments in this category, which holds significant importance currently amidst the fierce competition to claim the remaining spots for the Turin Masters.

  • R1: €23,785 // 10 points
  • R2: €42,935 // 50 points
  • R3: €80,065 // 100 points
  • CF: €149,685 // 200 points
  • SF: €274,425 // 400 points
  • F: €501,880 // 650 points
  • G: €919,075 // 1,000 points

 

- Absences and Favorites at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2024

The most notable absence is Novak Djokovic, who has opted to rest for the remainder of the season due to his lack of interest in the remaining events, potentially jeopardizing his chances of qualifying for the ATP Finals. Injuries have sidelined players like Korda and Harris, as well as recent retirees Thiem and Nadal.

Among the top title contenders, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz stand out prominently, both in magnificent form currently, aiming to prepare diligently for the season's ultimate challenges like the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup. It will be intriguing to see if Daniil Medvedev can end his title drought, or if Zverev, Rublev, or Fritz could spring a surprise. Keep a close watch on players needing victories to secure their Turin presence, such as Ruud, Dimitrov, Paul, De Miñaur, or Tsitsipas.
