Overview
- Jannik Sinner overwhelmed defending champion Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 to reach the Rolex Paris Masters final.
- Félix Auger-Aliassime beat Alexander Bublik 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 to make his second Masters 1000 final and move provisionally into the eighth ATP Finals spot.
- Auger-Aliassime will clinch qualification for Turin if he wins the Paris title, while a defeat would leave him vulnerable to Lorenzo Musetti’s late push in Athens.
- Sinner can briefly return to world No. 1 depending on results in Paris and the points he must defend in Turin.
- In Montpellier, Alexis Lebrun defeated Darko Jorgic 4-2 to reach the WTT Champions semi-finals as the last French player remaining, after saving four match points against Tomokazu Harimoto earlier; he next faces Truls Moregardh.
