Paes did not had the best season in the men’s doubles event this year and also lost in the quarter-final match of the Valencia Open partnering Polish Lukasz Kubot.
However, the veteran Indian witnessed a great season in the mixed doubles event having won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles with Swiss ace Martina Hingis.
14-time Major winner Nadal, on the other hand, has been laid low by injuries of late. He failed to win a single Grand Slam tournament in a year for the first time since 2005.
Paris Masters is the ninth and final ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event.
