Apart from Gasquet and Monfils, Mannarino will also be competing in the main draw. He will be recording his 14th year in attendance at Paris. Although he made his debut in 2008, Mannarino’s best performance came in 2020 when he reached the fourth round while losing to Alexander Zverev.

He is yet to record a win in the Masters event and Paris could be the perfect venue as the home crowd will be cheering him on.
