PARIS — Jannik Sinner<\/a> reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in men’s tennis after beating Felix Auger-Aliassime<\/a> 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the Paris Masters final Sunday.<\/p>\n

The four-time Grand Slam champion from Italy is replacing six-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> at the top as he extended his indoor winning streak to 26 matches, following up victory in Vienna last Sunday with his first Paris title.<\/p>\n

The ninth-seeded Auger-Aliassime needed to win the tournament at La D\u00e9fense Arena to clinch the eighth and final spot for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n

“It’s huge, honestly. It was such an intense final here, and we both knew what’s on the line,” Sinner said. “For him, it’s a very tough and difficult spot, but from my side, I’m extremely happy.”<\/p>\n

Sinner beat Auger-Aliassime for the third straight time — including in the semifinals at this year’s US Open — and now leads the Canadian 3-2 in head-to-head matchups.<\/p>\n

“He was serving extremely well,” Sinner said. “You have to use your small chances well.”<\/p>\n

Sinner won on his first match point with a crisp two-handed backhand down the line, tilted his head back and raised his arms. He then patted his heart as he waved his racket to the crowd.<\/p>\n

“The past couple of months have been amazing. We tried to work on things, tying to improve as a player, and seeing this kind of result makes me extremely happy,” Sinner said. “It has been an amazing year no matter what comes in Turin.”<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime, who has won titles this year in Adelaide, Montpellier and Brussels, received a time violation warning from chair umpire Nacho Forcadell when serving at 30-30 in the ninth game of the second set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PARIS — Jannik Sinner reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in men’s tennis after beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-267290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
