In the history of the ATP 1000 - Paris Masters, Djokovic has won 6 times. Federer and Murray have only won once, while Nadal has never won this tournament.
Last year, Holger Rune won his first Paris Masters at the age of 19 and the Dane joins a list of surprise winners since 2010 that includes Robin Soderling, David Ferrer, Jack Sock and Karen Khachanov.

At this year's Paris Masters, the top 8 seeds are exempted from the first round, including Djokovic (Serbia, No. 1), Alcaraz (Spain, No. 2), Daniil Medvedev (Russia, No. 3), Jannik Sinner (Italy, No. 4), Andrey Rublev (Russia, No. 5), Holger Rune (Denmark, No. 6), Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece, No. 7) and Casper Ruud (Norway, No. 8).
According to the schedule for the second round on October 31, Djokovic will open his match against the winner of the match between Miomir Kecmanovic (Serbia) and Tomas Etcheverry (Argentina). Carlos Alcaraz will open his match against the winner of the match between Cameron Norrie (England) and Alexandre Muller (France).
According to the rankings of the International Tennis Association (ATP) announced on November 30, Novak Djokovic is leading with 11,045 points, 2,420 points more than Carlos Alcaraz. The two top tennis players in the world can only face each other in the final of the 2023 Paris Masters.
Djokovic is the current runner-up at the Paris Masters, having lost to Holger Rune in the final last year. Therefore, if he is eliminated early in France this year, Nole risks having his points narrowed by Alcaraz, if the Spaniard wins the 2023 Paris Masters.
In addition, Djokovic is the reigning ATP Finals champion and the Serbian star is also under pressure to defend his points at this year's tournament in Turin (Italy) from November 12 to November 19.
