Jannik Sinner capped off a flawless week in Paris by defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6(4) to claim his maiden Rolex Paris Masters title and reclaim the World No. 1 ranking.
The Italian didn’t drop a set all tournament, extending his indoor winning streak to 26 matches and confirming his status as the undisputed king of hard courts heading into Turin.
Sinner was untouchable on serve once again, allowing just three return points in the opening set, and while Auger-Aliassime pushed hard in the second, particularly on serve, the Canadian couldn’t sustain the level needed to break through. In the tiebreak, Sinner’s precision and depth proved decisive as he closed out the match in clinical fashion.
For Felix, it was still a superb week, a reminder of the player who was touted for Slam Success. His recent run of form secures him a near-certain spot at the ATP Finals, where he’ll look to build on the momentum of his best run of the season.
As for Sinner, he’s now two-thirds of the way to completing the perfect indoor treble after Vienna and Paris and based on this form, few would bet against him completing it in Turin.

Verdict
I predicted Sinner would go on an indoor hard court tear by winning Vienna, Paris, and the ATP Finals, and so far, he’s 66% of the way there to achieving this.
He’s far too good on hard courts, and it’s rare you get a player who is topping the leaderboards for both serve and return stats, but Jannik has managed it.
Today, he was completely untroubled on serve; FAA won just 3 return points in the opening set, and it was one he really needed to win to try and land that mental blow of knowing you have to grind out a three-set win.
Instead, Sinner had that 1 set cushion, and he knew he just had to push himself hard at the right times to get the job done, and his precision in the tie break proved the difference.
Felix’s job was to keep Sinner out there for as long as possible and test out his stamina, given he’s been shaking out his leg this week, and he definitely pushed hard in the second set with more success, but just couldn’t find a way to create a break point.
