Jannik Sinner scored a victory of double significance on Sunday at the Rolex Paris Masters, where he clinched his fifth ATP Masters 1000 crown and marked his return to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
Displaying trademark composure and precision, the 24-year-old Italian withstood a spirited Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6(4) in the final to secure his maiden title at the French ATP Masters 1000 event. With his flawless run in Paris, Sinner became the first player to win a title at this level without dropping a set since Carlos Alcaraz in Indian Wells in 2023, while also extending his indoor winning streak to 26 matches.

“It’s huge, honestly, it was such an intense final, and we both knew what was on the line,” Sinner said after his one-hour, 52-minute win. “I’m extremely happy, the past couple of months have been amazing. We try to work on things and seeing this result makes me incredibly happy. Another title this year… It’s been an amazing year regardless of what comes in Turin.”
As well as ensuring his return to World No. 1 on Monday, Sinner tightened the race for ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours. He now trails Alcaraz by just 1,050 points in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, ensuring their battle will be decided at the Nitto ATP Finals, where Sinner is defending champion.

Auger-Aliassime’s impressive run to his second ATP Masters 1000 final has notably boosted his chances of qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals. The Canadian has climbed up to eighth in the Live Race, holding a 160-point lead over Lorenzo Musetti, and will look to secure his spot when competing at the ATP 250 in Metz next week.
Though Auger-Aliassime fought hard in a closely contested second set, Sinner ultimately surged through an ultra-clean tie-break to capture his fourth tour-level title of the season. Adding to his wins against the Canadian in Cincinnati and the US Open this year, Sinner now leads their Lexus ATP Head2Head series 3-2.
“It was a very difficult match, he was serving incredibly well, especially from the first break on,” Sinner said of Auger-Aliassime “I didn’t have many chances… You have to use the small chances you have, and in the breaker it was just a small mini break, so I’m very happy with how I played there.”
After hitting three consecutive unforced errors to drop serve in a nervy opening game, Auger-Aliassime steadied himself and began matching Sinner from the baseline. Yet that brief lapse in concentration proved decisive as the Italian produced his trademark consistency — striking 43 of 46 forehands in play and posting a Shot Quality of 9.6, according to TDI Insights.
In the second set, Auger-Aliassime showed resilience and fight, fending off all five break points he faced, according to Infosys ATP Stats. But, just as in the opener, one loose forehand in the tie-break handed Sinner the advantage, and he made no mistake in closing out his 23rd tour-level title.
