Italian star Jannik Sinner reclaimed the ATP world number one ranking after clinching the Paris Masters title, defeating Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6 in the final. Building on his Australian Open and Wimbledon triumphs, Sinner’s victory marks his fifth ATP Masters 1000 crown and extends his indoor win streak to 26 matches.
Entering the tournament with a chance to overtake Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner seized the moment when Alcaraz suffered a shock defeat to Cameron Norrie in the round of 32. In the final, a high-stakes clash unfolded as Auger-Aliassime battled not only for the title but also to secure the last spot at the season-ending ATP Finals.
After a tense opening set, Sinner broke early and closed out the first set 6-4. Auger-Aliassime fought back fiercely in the second set, but the match tilted in a decisive tiebreak where Sinner held his nerve to seal victory without dropping a set all week—the first player to do so at a Masters event since Alcaraz at Indian Wells 2023.
Riding a wave of momentum and confidence, the 24-year-old Italian now heads to Turin for the ATP Finals with the coveted world No. 1 spot firmly in his grasp. Tennis fans worldwide will be watching closely as Sinner aims to cap off an unforgettable season in style.
