The wild card announcements come a day after reigning Paris Indoors champion Novak Djokovic withdrew from Paris. Djokovic defeated rival Rafael Nadal to take third place at last weekend’s Six Kings Slam exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
A two-time finalist in 2009 and 2010, Monfils will make his 12th career appearance at the Rolex Paris Masters, 20 years after his tournament debut as a teenager.
Former world No. 7 Gasquet, who announced he will retire after the 2025 Roland Garros, will play Bercy for the 17th time.
