The qualifying rounds for the 2026 Rolex Paris Masters have officially concluded at the Plénitude Arena. After two intense rounds of competition, seven players successfully navigated the draw to secure their spots in the main event. The final day of qualifying was highlighted by the strong performances of established tour names like Lorenzo Sonego and Tomas Machac.
Sonego Survives a Thriller
Italian veteran Lorenzo Sonego had to dig deep to book his ticket to the main draw. Facing the determined Daniel Vallejo, Sonego found himself a set down before mounting a comeback. The Italian eventually closed out a dramatic match in a third-set tiebreak, winning 2-1 (3-6, 6-4, 7-6).
Machac Cruises Past Baez
Unlike Sonego’s marathon, Tomas Machac justified his status as one of the top contenders in the qualifying draw with a commanding performance. The Czech player controlled his match against Sebastian Baez from start to finish, securing a straightforward 2-0 (6-2, 6-4) victory.
