Carlos Alcaraz defeated Nicolas Jarry 7–5, 6–1 in the first round of the Paris Masters on hard court, comfortably justifying his status as the heavy pre-match favourite with odds of 1.08. The Spaniard controlled proceedings throughout, breaking serve multiple times to secure the opening set before dominating the second with a commanding display. Jarry, despite his 10.72 outsider odds, offered limited resistance as Alcaraz's superior court positioning and aggressive baseline game proved decisive. The comprehensive victory maintained Alcaraz's momentum in the lead-up to the season's final Masters event and positioned him favourably for the latter stages of the tournament.
