Inaugurated in February 1984 by the racers taking part in the The Six Days of Paris cycle race, le Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy (POPB), which had already held a tennis exhibition in 1985, hosted the first ever Paris Open on 27 October to 2 November 1986. The stated aim was for the tournament to quickly establish itself as the biggest and best “indoor” tournaments in the world. The inaugural winner was Germany’s Boris Becker who, despite being aged just 18 years and 11 months, had already won twice at Wimbledon. With 82,117 spectators coming to watch over the seven days of the tournament, the first Paris Open was a success. In the early 90s, the tournament began scaling up and became the benchmark indoor tournament for the end of the year, consistently attracting all of the world’s best players. Guy Forget was the first Frenchman to win the tournament, in 1991. The Rolex Paris Masters is the season’s last ATP Masters 1000 tournament, offering a chance to grab the last qualifying places for the Masters tournament. Organised by the French Tennis Federation, the Rolex Paris Masters has been managed by Guy Forget since 2021. The record attendance was back in 2018, with 141,000 spectators (including qualifiers).
