Paris Masters LIVE: Carlos Alcaraz called out as Jannik Sinner makes complaint

The Paris Masters is set to kick off with top tennis talents like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Daniil Medvedev competing for the title in this final Masters 1000 event of the year. While these high-ranked players enjoy a bye into the second round, Jannik Sinner faces a challenging path, with potential early encounters against formidable opponents like Ben Shelton.

Notably absent from the event is Novak Djokovic, who recently announced he wouldn’t be participating, much to the disappointment of fans eager to see him play in Paris.

Amidst the competitive tension, the tournament has already sparked lively commentary among players. Jack Draper, fresh off his Vienna Open victory, expressed his ambition to challenge the sport’s top players, including Alcaraz and Sinner.

Meanwhile, French star Ugo Humbert pushed back on Sinner’s suggestion that players can skip events, arguing that those ranked lower must play consistently to boost their standings. As the Paris Masters unfolds, these interactions add an extra layer of drama to an already intense showdown, promising an action-packed week of tennis.
