Sinner eyes Paris crown as Auger-Aliassime seeks statement win in final
Second seed Jannik Sinner is set to face ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Paris Masters 2025 final. The Canadian has battled his way through the draw, opening with three comeback wins over qualifiers Francisco Comesana, Alexandre Muller, and Daniel Altmaier, before cruising past wild card Valentin Vacherot and 13th seed Alexander Bublik in straight sets. Sinner, meanwhile, has been in ruthless form. After receiving a first-round bye, the Italian has yet to drop a set, dispatching Zizou Bergs, 17th seed Francisco Cerundolo, fifth seed Ben Shelton, and third seed Alexander Zverev to book his place in the title clash.

The Jannik Sinner bakery is open & thriving.
He played some unbelievable tennis again today… it took just 62 minutes.
This was his first 6-0 set against a top 5 player.

Sinner has put together a commanding season, reaching eight finals and winning four titles, including Melbourne and a historic Wimbledon crown. He also lifted trophies in Beijing and Vienna while finishing runner-up at the US Open, Cincinnati, Rome, and Roland Garros. Considering exits in Halle, Cincinnati, and Shanghai and a brief three-month suspension earlier this year, Sinner continues to rank among the tour’s most efficient. Stat-wise, winning 79% of first-serve points and converting 45% of 479 break points.

Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, has blended resilience with resurgence. The 25-year-old captured titles in Adelaide, Open Occitanie, and Brussels, overcoming injuries that interrupted his rhythm through the spring. Toe and back issues sidelined him in Rotterdam, Rome, and Basel, yet he’s bounced back with finals in Dubai and strong runs to the semifinals in Doha, Hamburg, and the US Open. His 687 aces and 76% first-serve points won underline his steady revival.
Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime are locked at 2-2 in their head-to-head. The Canadian claimed the first two encounters in 2022 before Sinner responded with back-to-back wins to level the rivalry in 2025. Their 2024 Madrid clash could have tilted the balance, but it never took place as Sinner withdrew due to a hip injury.
| Year | Event | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | US Open | Semifinal | Jannik Sinner | 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 |
| 2025 | Cincinnati | Quarterfinal | Jannik Sinner | 6-0, 6-2 |
| 2024 | Madrid | Quarterfinal | Felix Auger-Aliassime | W/O |
| 2022 | Cincinnati | Round of 16 | Felix Auger-Aliassime | 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-1 |
| 2022 | Madrid | Round of 16 | Felix Auger-Aliassime | 6-1, 6-2 |
| Jannik Sinner | Category | Felix Auger-Aliassime |
| 2 | Current Ranking | 10 |
| 311-86 | Career W-L | 258-168 |
| 48-6 | YTD W-L | 43-21 |
| 22 | Career Titles | 8 |
| 4 | Grand Slams | 0 |
| 4 | YTD Titles | 3 |
Sinner’s form has been clinical all week, and with his serve firing and confidence sky-high, he looks poised to cap off his dominant season with another title. Auger-Aliassime’s resilience has been impressive, but facing a locked-in Sinner in a Masters final might be a step too far.
Jannik Sinner is one win away from reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking.
