One of the best stories of the season was the fairytale Shanghai final between cousins Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech. They will return to the ATP Masters 1000 in less than two weeks.
Tournament organizers announced on Tuesday that Shanghai champion Vaccello and finalist Lindeknech have received wild cards for the main draw of the Rolex Paris Masters.
Vaccello will make his debut at the final Masters 1000 event of the season, while Rinderknech has a 2-3 record in the event according to the Infosys ATP Win-Loss Index.
When Vaccello won the title in Shanghai, he was ranked 204th in the PIF ATP rankings and is currently ranked at a career-high 39th in the world.
Arthur Cazaux and Terence Atmane also each received a wild card into the main draw. Altmann enjoyed his dream Masters 1000m run in Cincinnati, where the Frenchman reached the semi-finals of qualifying but lost to Jannik Sinner.
Ugo Blanchet, Hugo Gaston, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Kyrian Jacquet each received qualifying wild cards.
