Sinner Reclaims No. 1 With Paris Masters Title as Finals Race Tightens

Alcaraz is projected to retake the top ranking on Nov. 10 when Sinner’s 2024 Turin points drop.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6 (4) to win the Rolex Paris Masters, his fifth trophy of 2025 and the 23rd of his career.
  • The victory returns Sinner to world No. 1 for the week, with rankings set to shift again when last year’s ATP Finals points come off.
  • Sinner plans a brief rest before heading to Turin, carrying a 26-match indoor hard-court winning streak into the ATP Finals.
  • Auger-Aliassime’s run to the Paris final lifted him to eighth in the Race to Turin, 160 points ahead of Lorenzo Musetti.
  • After the final, Auger-Aliassime withdrew from Metz citing physical issues, leaving Musetti able to clinch the last Finals berth only by winning next week’s ATP 250 in Athens.
