Jannik Sinner<\/a> advanced to his maiden final at the Rolex Paris Masters<\/a> on Saturday after he surged past a physically hampered Alexander Zverev<\/a> 6-0, 6-1.<\/p>\n The second-seeded Italian was ruthless from start to finish, hitting 23 winners to just 12 unforced errors as he improved to 5-4 in his Lexus ATP Head2Head series with Zverev, who won the title in Paris last year. Zverev saved two match points to overcome Daniil Medvedev<\/a> on Friday night, but he struggled with his movement and looked out of breath at various points during his semi-final clash with Sinner.<\/p>\n In top form from start to finish! \ud83d\udc4f@janniksin<\/a> knocks out Zverev 6-0 6-1 to reach his first final in Paris!@RolexPMasters<\/a> | #RolexParisMasters<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kw9qiJEu1p<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 ATP Tour (@atptour) November 1, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cWhen you drop the physicality like he did, you cannot find the full power on serve,\u201d said Sinner, who won 13 of 16 second-serve return points, according to Infosys ATP Stats. \u201cI\u2019m happy to be in the final, but it\u2019s not how you want to arrive. Playing against Sascha is always a special occasion, and today he was clearly not 100 per cent, we saw that.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was struggling physically. He won an incredible match yesterday, two match points down\u2026 Making the final in Vienna, coming here and making the semis again, it\u2019s an incredible run, but we all hope that he gets better and fit for Turin.\u201d<\/p>\n By extending his winning streak on indoor hard courts to 25 matches, Sinner set a championship-match meeting with Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a>. The 24-year-old Italian is into his ninth ATP Masters 1000 final, and third of the season after falling short to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in Rome and Cincinnati.<\/p>\n Zverev now faces a quick turnaround to be fit for his campaign at the Nitto ATP Finals<\/a>, where he is a two-time champion. He owns a 54-23 record this year, highlighted by his title in Munich and run to his third major final at the Australian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sinner is just 100 points behind Alcaraz in the PIF ATP Live Rankings and would reclaim the World No. 1 spot if he wins the title on Sunday. He is level with Auger-Aliassime at 2-2 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series, having won their two latest meetings in Cincinnati and the US Open<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n \u201cHe plays incredible tennis at the moment, he has improved a lot,\u201d Sinner said of Auger-Aliassime. \u201cEspecially in the past months, he has found his game again. I\u2019m looking forward to it tomorrow, it\u2019s a great occasion for both of us. I\u2019m very happy for Felix, he is one of the nicest guys we have on Tour. It\u2019s going to be a very difficult match.\u201d<\/p>\n Sinner has reached the final in nine of the 11 tournaments in which he has competed in this year, including victories at the Australian Open<\/a> and Wimbledon<\/a>. It marks the second consecutive year he has reached nine finals, and he has now tied Alcaraz for the most Top-10 wins in 2025 (13).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
