In two weeks, the organizers of the Rolex Paris Masters will be in the starting blocks. The first of them will be Guy Forget, the tournament director. He also told himself behind the scenes that this could be his last Bercy.
Guy will indeed have the heavy task of assigning and announcing the invitations offered by the organization.

To date, only two French people enter directly into the table, it is Gaël Monfils and Ugo Humbert while the tournament grants only four invitations.

Give a sesame to those who are part of the famous Davis Cup pre-list? Give a jubilee to Jo ‐ Wilfried Tsonga? Reward a surprise player who has had a great year? Deprive of an Andy Murray, if he applies?
