Jannik Sinner roared back to the top of the tennis world with a thrilling win at the Paris Masters, beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6 in Sunday's final. 🎾🔥
The Italian star, who already lifted the Australian Open and Wimbledon trophies this year, needed just one more big title to reclaim the coveted No.1 ranking — and he did it in style at Paris' indoor courts.
Sinner had eyes on the top spot after Carlos Alcaraz fell to Cameron Norrie in the round of 32, opening the door for the 24-year-old to move up the ladder. Auger-Aliassime fought back late in the second set, forcing a tense tiebreak.
Despite a fierce challenge from the Canadian, Sinner held his nerve. He bagged match point to secure his fifth Masters 1000 crown without dropping a single set — an achievement not seen since Alcaraz at Indian Wells in 2023.
The victory also extends Sinner's indoor win streak to 26 matches, setting the perfect tone as he heads to the ATP Finals in Turin at the top of the rankings. 🌟
With momentum on his side and a year of Grand Slam glory behind him, Sinner is now the man to watch as tennis' season finale approaches. Let the Turin games begin! 🎉
