The Rolex Paris Masters, the final ATP Masters 1000 event of the season, opened at Paris La Defense Arena on November 2.

Spanish rising star Rafael Jodar beat Chile's Alejandro Tabilo 6-2, 6-3, firing 10 aces without a double fault; Jodar stands ninth in the Race to Turin for the ATP Finals. Elsewhere, qualifier Rinky Hijikata routed Luciano Darderi 6-2, 6-2, Cameron Norrie beat Matteo Arnaldi in three sets, and Casper Ruud dismissed Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-3, 6-2.
