21:00 November 2: Jannik Sinner - Felix Auger-Aliassime

Jannik Sinner was in fine form as he beat Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 in the semi-finals of the Paris Masters, reaching the final for the first time in his career. The Italian second seed was virtually error-free throughout the match, hitting 23 winners and committing just 12 unforced errors. The win improved his head-to-head record against Zverev to 5-4.

Defending champion Zverev appeared to be in poor form after a lengthy quarter-final against Daniil Medvedev. The German struggled to move and was barely able to defend against Sinner's all-out attack.

This is Sinner's 25th consecutive win on indoor hard courts. In the final, the 24-year-old will face Felix Auger-Aliassime. This is also Sinner's ninth ATP Masters 1000 final, and his third of the 2025 season - after two losses to Carlos Alcaraz in Rome and Cincinnati.

In the updated ATP rankings, Sinner is now only 100 points behind Alcaraz. If he wins in Paris, he will officially return to the world No. 1 position. In previous confrontations, Sinner and Auger-Aliassime are tied 2-2, with Sinner winning the last two meetings at Cincinnati and the US Open this year.

Previously, Auger-Aliassime continued to show impressive form on indoor hard courts when defeating Alexander Bublik 7-6(3), 6-4 in the Paris Masters semi-finals, thereby winning the right to enter the second ATP Masters 1000 final of his career.

This victory not only brought the Canadian player to the final match in the capital Paris, but also helped him surpass Lorenzo Musetti to win the last spot to attend the 2025 ATP Finals.

“I’m very happy. A Masters 1000 final sounds fantastic. It’s not every week you get to play matches like this. Hopefully I can go further and win the title,” said Auger-Aliassime after reaching his second final at this level, after the 2024 Madrid Masters.

The 25-year-old also highlighted the intensity of the Masters tournaments: “Every match is difficult. The match against Bublik was very even, in the way you don’t know who is going to win until the last minute. At this level, everyone is playing well, and you have to always be curious, even a little nervous, about how your match is going to go.”

The Canadian has now moved up to eighth place in the ATP Live Race To Turin, and a win in Paris will secure his place at this year's ATP Finals. If he doesn't win, Auger-Aliassime still has a chance to defend his place at the Moselle Open (Metz, France) next week, where he has a 90-point lead over Musetti - while the Italian will also compete in the ATP 250 tournament in Athens.

“These are matches where you have to give your best. It’s great to play against top players and see where my game is. I’ve been playing for many years to get to this level. Tomorrow I’ll go out there ready to play, because at this level, opponents don’t give you chances – you have to create them,” Auger-Aliassime said of the upcoming final.
