Tennis news: Carlos Alcaraz demands change as another star pulls out of Paris Masters

The Paris Masters is officially underway at a brand new venue, moving from the Accor Arena in Bercy to the La Defense Arena in Nanterre, and there are two Brits in action on Monday - Cameron Norrie and Jacob Fearnley.

Former world No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov will also be making his comeback as he takes on Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the night session. It will be Dimitrov's first match since he was forced to retire from Wimbledon in tears while holding a two-set lead over Jannik Sinner in the fourth round.

The Paris Masters kicked off just days after the ATP Tour announced that a 10th Masters 1000 tournament in Saudi Arabia would be added to the calendar as early as 2028. And world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has called for change, with the relentless schedule already taking a toll on the players.

Plenty of big names have already withdrawn from this week's tournament, including former champions Novak Djokovic and Holger Rune. Paris Masters organisers have now suffered another blow as home favourite and last year's runner-up, Ugo Humbert, has also pulled out.
