Overview
- Jannik Sinner crushed Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 in 62 minutes to make his first Paris Masters final.
- Reports noted Zverev’s fatigue after a long quarterfinal against Daniil Medvedev, though Sinner dominated throughout.
- Sinner will face Felix Auger-Aliassime, who defeated Alexander Bublik 7-6, 6-4 to reach the title match.
- Auger-Aliassime moved to eighth in the Race by 160 points over Lorenzo Musetti, whose hopes now hinge on adding points in Athens.
- A Paris title would return Sinner to No. 1 ahead of Carlos Alcaraz, while Auger-Aliassime would clinch a Turin berth with the trophy; otherwise qualification could be decided next week in Metz and Athens with Novak Djokovic’s status still unclear.
