Past British winners at the Rolex Paris Masters
The Rolex Paris Masters has seen four British tennis players be crowned champions across the singles and doubles draws.
Rolling it back to 1998, when Greg Rusedski became the first British singles champion in Paris, having defeated then world No.1 Pete Sampras 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-3.
In 2003, Tim Henman followed suit, claiming the biggest title of his career in Paris. After a turbulent season that saw Henman battle through a shoulder injury, the former world No.4 strung together a run to a maiden Masters 1000 crown after sealing a 6-2, 7-6(6), 7-6(2) victory over Andrei Pavel.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray rounds off the British singles stars to have claimed the title so far after picking up the title in 2016 - the most decorative year of his career.
Murray came through a tough battle against American John Isner in the final, eventually prevailing 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-4 to etch his name on the silverware and cement his position at world No.1 for the first time in his career.
On the doubles side, Skupski became the first British champion in the tournament's history as he and Dutchman Wesley Koolhof emerged victorious in 2022.
Patten added his name to the British champions at the Paris Masters, lifting the title alongside Finnish partner Heliovaara in 2025.
