Overview
- Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Alexander Bublik 7-6 (3), 6-4 to make the Paris Masters final and move up to eighth in the ATP Race.
- The win puts Auger-Aliassime at about 3,845 points, ahead of Lorenzo Musetti on roughly 3,685, pushing the Italian down to ninth.
- If Auger-Aliassime wins the Paris title he would rise to around 4,195 points and secure the last automatic spot for Turin.
- Jannik Sinner faces Alexander Zverev in the Paris semifinal with a separate stakes race, as winning the tournament would lift him to No. 1 over Carlos Alcaraz.
- With one berth unresolved, Musetti is entered in Athens and Auger-Aliassime in Metz next week, while Novak Djokovic’s participation in Turin remains unconfirmed.
