Berrettini is actively pursuing the European title segment of the season, already competing at the third tournament. The Italian has made tangible progress. If in Lyon he crashed out immediately at the start, losing to Jacquet, then last week in Vienna he scored the quarterfinals. At the Masters in Paris, Matteo overcame Nakashima's resistance in difficult battles. (6:4, 3:6, 7:6) and Umber (7-6, 7-5) and thus made it to the 1/8 finals for the first time in his career.

Alcaraz brought himself to the start in Paris in good shape. The day before, the Spanish tennis player won the title in Vienna and expanded on his successes in the French capital. At the Masters, Carlos started immediately from the second round and broke Michelsen's resistance in a hard fight. (7:6, 6:3). It should be noted that Alcaraz has never achieved great success in this tournament. The best result here is the quarterfinals of 2022.
