Sinner Blasts Past Zverev to Reach Paris Masters Final, One Win From No. 1

The Italian’s rout sets up a championship match with Felix Auger-Aliassime that would restore him to the top ranking ahead of Carlos Alcaraz.

Overview

  • Sinner overwhelmed Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 in just over an hour, winning 90% of first-serve points, facing no break points, and breaking six times.
  • Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced earlier by defeating Alexander Bublik 7-6 (3), 6-4 and can clinch the final ATP Finals berth by winning the title.
  • Zverev arrived from a draining quarterfinal in which he saved two match points to edge Daniil Medvedev, and he struggled to keep pace in the semifinal.
  • Sinner reached the last four by beating Ben Shelton 6-3, 6-3 and extended his lengthy indoor-court winning run during this tournament.
  • A victory on Sunday would give Sinner the Paris crown and move him back to world No. 1, displacing Alcaraz when the rankings update.
