Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has received an invitation to join the main draw of the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000, which begins Monday, as Ugo Humbert and Adrian Mannarino, announced the organizers Wednesday.

Tsonga (34), whose victory in Metz a month ago put him back in the top 40 (36th), Mannarino (44th), all cool finalist in Moscow (beaten by Rublev), and Humbert (63rd) join four other French in the main draw: Gael Monfils, the better ranked Tricolore (14th), Benoît Paire, Gilles Simon and Richard Gasquet (who enjoys his protected classification).

Jérémy Chardy (65), Corentin Moutet (94), Antoine Hoang (108) and young Hugo Gaston (19, 286) got an invitation to play the qualifiers for the Paris tournament on Saturday and Sunday.
