Paris, Nov 1 (NationPress) Former World No.1 Jannik Sinner has made it to his first final at the Paris Masters, dominating a physically challenged Alexander Zverev with a score of 6-0, 6-1 during their semifinal match on Saturday. The Italian is set to face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the championship match, following the Canadian's hard-fought victory.
The second-seeded Italian displayed relentless performance throughout the match, striking 23 winners against only 12 unforced errors, bringing his ATP head-to-head record with Zverev to 5-4. Zverev, who clinched the title in Paris last year, had previously saved two match points to defeat Daniil Medvedev but struggled with his movement and stamina against Sinner.
With this triumph, Sinner has extended his indoor hard court winning streak to 25 matches, now just 100 points shy of Alcaraz in the ATP Live Rankings. Should he secure the title on Sunday, he would reclaim the World No. 1 position.
Sinner will face ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada, who defeated Alexander Bublik from Kazakhstan 7-6(3), 6-4 in the other semifinal held at Centre Court in Paris.
The 24-year-old Italian is competing in his ninth ATP Masters 1000 final and third this season, after falling short against Carlos Alcaraz in both Rome and Cincinnati. The ATP head-to-head record between Sinner and Auger-Aliassime stands at 2-2, with Sinner winning their last two encounters in Cincinnati and the US Open.
“He plays incredible tennis at the moment, he has improved a lot,” Sinner commented on Auger-Aliassime. “Especially in the past months, he has found his game again. I’m looking forward to it tomorrow; it’s a great occasion for both of us. I’m very happy for Felix, he is one of the nicest guys on Tour. It’s going to be a very difficult match.”
Sinner's journey to the final includes reaching the final in nine out of 11 tournaments this year, with notable victories at the Australian Open and Wimbledon. This marks the second consecutive year he has achieved nine finals and ties him with Alcaraz for the most Top-10 wins in 2025 (13).
Point of View
I observe Jannik Sinner’s remarkable performance at the Paris Masters with great interest. His journey reflects not only his skill but the evolving dynamics of men's tennis. Sinner's potential to reclaim the World No. 1 position adds a compelling narrative to the tournament, making it a must-watch event.
