One of the best stories of the season was the fairytale Shanghai final between cousins Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech. They will be back in ATP Masters 1000 action in less than two weeks.
Shanghai champion Vacherot and finalist Rinderknech headlined the Rolex Paris Masters main draw wild cards, which tournament organisers announced Tuesday.
Vacherot will make his debut at the season's final Masters 1000 event, while Rinderknech owns a 2-3 record at the tournament according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.
Vacherot was No. 204 in the PIF ATP Rankings when he triumphed in Shanghai and is now at a career-high World No. 39.
Arthur Cazaux and Terence Atmane each also received a wild card into the main draw. Atmane enjoyed a dream Masters 1000 run of his own in Cincinnati, where the Frenchman made the semi-finals as a qualifier before falling to Jannik Sinner.
Ugo Blanchet, Hugo Gaston, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Kyrian Jacquet each received a wild card into qualifying.
