Paris-Bercy - Pouille missing from guest list
On Tuesday, the Paris-Bercy tournament organizers officially announced the players who will receive invitations to the last Masters 1000 of the season.
Richard Gasquet, Adrian Mannarino, Gaël Monfils and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will enter the final draw, while Arthur Cazaux, Hugo Gaston, Quentin Halys and Alexandre Muller will compete in the qualifying rounds.
Although each player seems to deserve his place, the absence of Lucas Pouille from this list may come as a surprise.
Indeed, Pouille has just returned to the world's Top 100 and might well have deserved an invitation.
