Jannik Sinner has reached the final of the Rolex Paris Masters for the first time in his career, delivering a commanding performance with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Alexander Zverev in the semifinals.
Zverev, who had just come off a tough three-set battle against Daniil Medvedev, was unable to find his rhythm against Sinner, who wrapped up the match in just 62 minutes. This victory marks Sinner’s ninth ATP final of the year, where he has achieved a balanced 4-4 record in his previous eight finals. It also represents his ninth career appearance in a Masters 1000 final, with an identical 4-4 record thus far.
With the win, Sinner is now just one step away from reclaiming the world No. 1 ranking. A victory in the final on Sunday would allow him to regain the top spot from Carlos Alcaraz when the new ATP rankings are published on Monday.
Sinner previously held the No. 1 ranking for a total of 65 consecutive weeks from June 10, 2024, to September 7, 2025, before Alcaraz took the lead following his triumph at this year’s US Open. The Italian’s journey towards reclaiming the top rank and his impressive performance in Paris adds an exciting layer to his campaign as he aims for further success.
