Sinner claws closer to Alcaraz in Big Titles chase with Paris triumph

Sinner defeats Auger-Aliassime in Paris final to reclaim No. 1

November 02, 2025

Jannik Sinner clawed closer to Carlos Alcaraz in their Big Titles battle on Sunday when he won the Rolex Paris Masters title.

The Italian defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime for the trophy to claim his first ATP Masters 1000 crown of the season. He now owns 10 Big Titles — a combination of Grand Slam championships, trophies at the Nitto ATP Finals and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, and Olympic singles gold medals.

Sinner now trails Alcaraz by just four Big titles. The Spaniard has earned five such trophies in 2025 — three Masters 1000 titles and two major triumphs — to three for the Italian. The 24-year-old has emerged victorious at two majors and one Masters 1000 event.

Big Titles Won: Alcaraz & Sinner

The San Candido native has claimed Masters 1000 glory at least once in three consecutive seasons. It is also the second straight year he has earned at least three Big Titles, after winning six in 2024.

The new No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings now owns the fifth-most Masters 1000 titles among active players with five. Only Novak Djokovic (40), Alcaraz (8), Alexander Zverev (7) and Daniil Medvedev (6) own more of the prestigious trophies.

Sinner has won a Big Title for every 6.3 tournaments he has played in his career. Only Djokovic (3.3), Rafael Nadal (3.5), Alcaraz (3.9), Roger Federer (4.4), Pete Sampras (4.9) and Andre Agassi (6.1) have won the events at a higher rate.

There is one more Big Title up for grabs this season, with Sinner and Alcaraz set to headline the field at the Nitto ATP Finals from 9-16 November. Sinner is the defending champion at the year-end championships, which Alcaraz has not yet won.
