Paris Masters 1000: Bercy loses its tournament, which moves to La Défense Arena. The new multipurpose room will be able to accommodate nearly 23,000 people compared to 16,800 at the Accor Arena.

Novak Djokovic had made it one of his privileged gardens with his seven titles. The last Frenchman to have won there remains Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in 2008. The ATP has considerably strengthened the specifications to grant its Masters 1000 label, which only nine tournaments in the world have.
