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