After 37 weeks as world number 2, Jannik Sinner has reclaimed his ranking as world number 1, dethroning Carlos Alcaraz by thrashing Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 ,7-6(4) in an hour and 52 minutes match at the La Defense Arena in the Paris Masters finals.
In the first set, Jannik Sinner got an early break of serve against Felix Auger-Aliassime, giving him the lead right away. He then kept his own serve solid, playing with confidence and control to win the set 6-4.
In the second set, Auger-Aliassime improved his game, serving better and saving a few break points that could have ended the match sooner.
Both players held serve tightly, showing great focus and power from the baseline. The set went into a tiebreak, where Sinner stayed calm and consistent, winning it 7-4 to seal the match in straight sets.
Addressing the media and his fans after securing his first Paris Masters title, the 24-year-old said, “It was such an intense final and we both knew what was on the line.
“From my side, I am extremely happy. We have tried to work on things, and seeing this kind of result makes me incredibly happy.
“It has been an amazing year, no matter what comes now in Turin.”
Adding to his list, this win is his 26th match won in total in, indoor court. The young tennis star played in the tournament without dropping a set, which has included his name on the list of players to achieve that feat at the Master 1000 level.
Sinner’s next tournament will be the ATP finals in Turin, which starts on November 9 until November 16, 2025. In total, after serving his three-month doping ban for three months and returning to competitive tennis in May 2025, Sinner has won a total of 5 titles, the Australian Open, Rotterdam Open, Miami Open, Beijing Open, and the Paris Masters.
