The final Masters of 2021 is in full swing, and as one of the most famous indoor hardcourt tennis tournaments in the world, the Paris Masters have been held for more than fifty years since it was held in 1968.
So who is the player who has won the most titles at the end of the year? How are the Big Three performing? Let's take a look at it together!
#德约科维奇五冠居首
Djokovic's first victory at the Paris Masters came in the 2009 season, when he won five titles (behind six-time champion Murray), including the only Masters trophy, Paris.
In 2013, the Serbian, who was already a giant, was crowned the Paris Masters for the second time, but also achieved three consecutive championships at the then China Open, Shanghai Masters and Paris Masters.
Coupled with the year-end finals championship with a complete victory record, Djokovic ended his brilliant 2013 season with a wave of four consecutive championships.
Djokovic then achieved a historic three-time Paris Masters title in 2014 and 2015, plus defeating Shapovalov to reach the top in 2019, Djokovic has now held five Paris Masters titles, the first in history.
#费德勒一冠, Nadal was the best runner-up only
Compared to Djokovic, the other two of the big three have performed relatively inferiorly in Paris, with Swiss king Federer currently reaching the Masters final a total of 50 times, but only once in Paris.
In 2011, he played as the No. 3 seed of the tournament and beat Gasquet, Berdych and Murray to reach the finals, and finally defeated local player Tsonga to win the Paris Masters for the first time.
Nadal also had a final experience at the Paris Masters, and as early as 2007 he successfully broke through from the bottom half as the No. 2 seed, but eventually fell under the shooting of Nalbandian.
Perhaps because of the fate of the Paris Masters, Nadal, who is known for his outstanding clay strength, has always been a little less comfortable on the indoor hard courts.
Espanyol's most recent appearance was last year, when he reached the semi-finals and eventually lost to Germany's Zverev, and Paris, along with Miami and Shanghai, became Three Masters tournaments that Nadal had never conquered.
In addition to the Big Three, Russia's Safin's performance at the Paris Masters has also impressed fans, and he has won three of the championship trophies in the men's singles finals of the tournament four times.
This year's Paris Masters are missing players such as Federer, Nadal and Thiem, and the defending champion is Russian player Medvedev, so do you think Djokovic won the title in Paris and broke the Record of 37 Masters titles held by him and Nadal? (Source: House of Tennis Author: Barbie)
