Two ATP powerhouses compete for bragging rights at the French capital.
Having already faced off in two finals this year, Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev will put their skills to the test in the 2025 Rolex Paris Masters semifinals on Saturday. The No. 2 seed is the clear favorite for the trophy, after Carlos Alcaraz was knocked out earlier this week. Meanwhile, Sascha has come through some rollicking battles to enter this round. The winner of this contest will take on either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Alexander Bublik in the final. Follow BetMGM to get all the important odds for the Paris Bercy knockouts.
Jannik Sinner has beaten Zizou Bergs, Francisco Cerundolo and Ben Shelton without dropping a set this week. The World No. 2 has a record of 51-6 this year, including four titles. He won the Australian Open at the beginning of 2025, before capturing his fourth major by dethroning Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon. After losing in the summit clash at Flushing Meadows, Sinner won the China Open, Six Kings Slam and the Vienna Open. The 24-year-old has won 92% service games on hard courts in the ongoing season.

Alexander Zverev made it clear that in spite of having a topsy-turvy campaign, the end of the season has proven to be fruitful for him in the past. The German superstar backed it up by finishing as the runner-up in Vienna and making it to the final four here in Paris Bercy. Currently the defending champion at this Masters-1000, the World No. 3 will hope to keep building on his win-loss record of 54-22 in 2025. 28-year-old Zverev has beaten Camilo Ugo Carabelli, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Daniil Medvedev to enter this round.

Over the past couple of years, Sinner has tasted insurmountable success against Zverev. The Italian has found the perfect recipe to outhit the German. He is strong on his own service games, and pounces on any half chances once Zverev wavers in terms of his energy levels. However, the World No. 3 certainly challenged the reigning Wimbledon champ in Austria last week, and has an even better chance on the slower courts in Paris Bercy.
Prediction: Alexander Zverev in three sets.
Tense scenes in Paris right now 😬
