About Rolex Paris Masters
History
The Rolex Paris Masters 2021 is the 50th edition of the tournament. The Masters 1000 event is usually the final tournament on the ATP tour before the season-ending ATP Finals. Because of its sponsorship, the tournament is officially known as Rolex Paris Masters since 2017. It is also the only one of nine Masters 1000 tournaments that is played indoors, since 2009. From 1987 until 2008 there were two indoor tournaments at the Masters level.

The Rolex Paris Masters was played on a carpet court at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin from its evolution from 1968 to 1982. In 1989 it was upgraded to become one of the premier nine tournaments of the Grand Prix Tour, replacing the Tokyo Open. The event then shifted to AccorHotels Arena from 1986.
The surface offers one of the fastest courts in the world, due to which more attacking tennis was showcased. However, since 2011 the tournament has followed the general slow-down of most courts on the ATP tour.
