The 53rd edition of this tournament has been relocated from Accor Arena to La Defense Arena in Nanterre. Day 1 of the last ATP 1000 event of the season will also feature the former champion Karen Khachanov, who stunned Novak Djokovic in the 2018 final to claim his first Masters 1000 title.

Djokovic is the seven-time champion, but has withdrawn from this year's event due to a leg injury. Alexander Zverev is the defending champion and will begin in campaign against a qualifier in the Round of 32.
