The final Masters 1000 tournament of the ATP 2023 season is upon us, and the Paris Masters schedule already looks mouthwatering. Following the release of the draw over the weekend, it looks like each and every day will offer us something pretty special. And once the qualifiers are done and dusted today (Sunday, October 29th), we will know exactly who is placed where in the draw. Of course, we will then know which matches are set to be involved in the Rolex Paris Masters schedule for the opening few days too.

Paris Masters Schedule 2023

Yet let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. The goal here is to discuss the Paris Masters schedule in-depth, and this includes the Paris Masters order of play for the start of the event. Moving on from that, you can expect to see daily updates for the order of play as we progress through the tournament. I will stick with these updates all the way through to finals day, which is set to be Sunday, November 5th.

All of these details and other important elements of this fantastic tournament are provided below.

Paris Masters schedule for day five – Wednesday, November 1st

Day five takes us into the middle of the 2023 Paris Masters event. Already, some shocking upsets have come through, such as Alcaraz being taken out by the qualifier, Safiullin last night. Yet at the same time, some fantastic tennis has been on show from the top names in the draw. As for the Rolex Paris Masters schedule today, close to 20 matches are set to be played, and for the singles event, all matches are second-round games. This is different for the scheduled doubles games, which boast a mix of first and second-round games.

Regardless, I’ve shared the complete Paris Masters order of play for day five below.

Court Central – 10:00 start time

Starting with the main show court today, Court Central has a simply phenomenal lineup. In fact, since this tournament is packed into just one week, the order of play today rivals just about any other tournament played during the season in terms of quality. Four of the top ten seeds are playing on Court Central today, including Medvedev, Djokovic, Sinner, and Rune, and the actual matches look highly enticing. 

On that note, check out the order of play for the six scheduled matches on Court Central below:

  • Grigor Dimitrov vs Daniil Medvedev (3)
  • Stefanos Tsitsipas (7) vs Felix Auger-Aliassime
  • Novak Djokovic (1) vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry
  • Ugo Humbert vs Alexander Zverev (10)
  • Dominic Thiem (Q) vs Holger Rune (6) (Not Before 18:30)
  • Jannik Sinner (4) vs Mackenzie McDonald (Not Before 19:30)

Court 1 – 10:00 start time

Several of the ‘second tier’ seeds are set to play on Court 1 today. In fact, the Paris Masters schedule for Court 1 sees a total of three seeded players competing in the singles event, and one seeded pair for the doubles event. This court actually has the fewest number of games today, with just five scheduled matches, yet the action should still be fantastic. 

Here is the full Paris Masters order of play for Court 1, with games starting at 10:00 UK time:

  • Tommy Paul (12) vs Botic van de Zandschulp (Q)
  • Roberto Bautista Agut vs Hubert Hurkacz (11)
  • Dusan Lajovic (LL) vs Alex de Minaur (13)
  • Casper Ruud (8) vs Francisco Cerundolo 
  • Bopanna/Ebden (3) vs Djokovic/Kecmanovic

Court 2 – 10:00 start time

The Paris Masters order of play for Court 2 is all about the men’s doubles event. In fact, this is the most packed out doubles schedule of the tournament so far, with six matches on the cards today. There is a nice mix of pairings too, ranging from alternate entries to the number one seeds. As for the complete schedule, please see the lineup below:

  • Heliovaara/Pavic vs Nys/Zielinski
  • Gonzalez/Roger-Vasselin (7) vs Murray/Venus
  • Gille/Vliegen vs Khachanov/Rublev (Not Before 14:00)
  • Auger-Aliassime/Korda vs Baez/Musetti
  • Dodig/Krajicek (1) vs Doumbia/Reboul (WC)

Paris Masters schedule and order of play – day 4 (Tuesday, October 31st)

On day four in Paris, we have a range of first-round matches that must still be completed. This is the case for the men’s singles and doubles draws, and in total, more than 15 matches make up the full Paris Masters schedule for day four. Needless to say, this puts a mouthwatering chain of matches in front of viewers for Tuesday, October 31st. As an added bonus, several top names like Carlos Alcaraz, Hubert Hurkacz, Andrey Rublev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and more will be in action on day four too.

Anyway, with these matches approaching quickly, let me shift gears and dive into the complete Paris Masters order of play for day four of this event.

2023 Paris Masters schedule – tournament overview

Prior to discussing the full schedule, I feel it’s important for you to know that there are two events running alongside one another in Paris this week. The main event that captures all the headlines is obviously the singles tournament, and guys like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will be looking to take the title this year. But there is also the Paris Masters doubles event to enjoy, and this holds the same 1000-level grade as the singles event. As for the respective schedules, as tends to be the case, there is a clear overlap.

More specifically, the general overview for these events concerning scheduling displays a mirror image of one another. This means that the main draws for the events are set to begin on Monday, October 30th, and they are set to conclude on Sunday, November 5th. Throughout this period, you can expect some pretty thrilling matches to feature on the Paris Masters order of play too, for which I will be giving daily updates!
