\"Pariz:<\/p>\n

Singles draw was made for the 2013 BNP Paribas Masters<\/a> in Paris on Friday.<\/p>\n

The ninth and final ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event of the season is taking place at the Palais Omnisports in Bercy from October 28 to November 3.<\/p>\n

Sixteen seeds (1-16) get BYE in the first round. Novak is seeded no.2 and will open his campaign against French qualifier, world no.189 Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who upset Benoit Paire in straight sets.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nole\u2019s possible opponents in the later stages of the tournament are:<\/p>\n

3rd round: John Isner (USA, 13)
\nQuarter-finals: Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI, 7), Nicolas Almagro (ESP, 12)
\nSemi-finals: Juan Martin del Potro (ARG, 4), Roger Federer (SUI, 5)<\/p>\n

Rafael Nadal (ESP, 1), David Ferrer (ESP, 3), Tomas Berdych (CZE, 6), Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA, 8), Richard Gasquet (FRA, 9)… are in the top half of the draw.<\/p>\n

It will be Novak\u2019s ninth appearance at the Paris Masters. He won the event in 2009 with a
\n6-2, 5-7, 7-6 victory over Frenchman Gael Monfils in the finals.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old lost his opening match last year to American Sam Querrey (6-0, 6-7, 4-6).<\/p>\n
