Sinner Beats Zverev, Reaches Paris Final

Jannik Sinner defeated defending champion Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 in 61 minutes to reach his first Paris Masters final. He will face Félix Auger-Aliassime in Sunday's final after Auger-Aliassime beat Alexander Bublik; Auger-Aliassime needs a win to secure the last ATP Finals spot in Turin. A Paris title would return Sinner to world No. 1, replacing Carlos Alcaraz, and would be his fifth trophy of the season and 23rd career title. The victory extended Sinner’s dominant indoor run (reported at roughly 24–25 matches) and continued his recent winning form, including last weekend in Vienna. Zverev appeared physically compromised after a long quarterfinal against Daniil Medvedev, and Sinner wrote “Get Well Soon” on the camera, saying Zverev was “not 100%.”
