Jannik Sinner Reaches Paris Masters Final With 6-0, 6-1 Rout of Alexander Zverev

A win over Felix Auger-Aliassime would return the Italian to world No. 1 next week.

Overview

  • Sinner is about 100 points behind Carlos Alcaraz in the live rankings, and a Paris title would move him back to No. 1 before ATP Finals points drop.
  • Carlos Alcaraz’s early loss to Cameron Norrie in Paris tightened the rankings race and increased the stakes of Sunday’s final.
  • The Italian has not lost a set en route to the final, joining Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the only players since 2007 to do so in Paris.
  • Zverev said his ankle “swelled up” after his quarter-final win over Daniil Medvedev, leaving him unable to move or serve at full strength against Sinner.
  • The world No. 3 will fly to Munich to see the surgeon who operated on his ankle in 2022, casting doubt on his readiness for the ATP Finals in Turin.
