Jannik Sinner has taken a giant leap towards reclaiming his world number one ranking after routing Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 in less than an hour to reach the Paris Masters final. The victory sets him up for a thrilling showdown with ninth-seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is on the cusp of securing a spot at the season-ending ATP Finals.
Sinner's impressive display was marked by his exceptional serve, which won 90% of its points against Zverev's 47%. The Italian also broke Zverev five times, converting two of those break opportunities to build a commanding lead. Zverev, meanwhile, looked drained after his previous match against Daniil Medvedev, where he had saved two match points to clinch a three-set victory.
Sinner, who extended his indoor winning streak to 25 matches, will look to claim his fifth title of the year and 23rd of his career. Auger-Aliassime, on the other hand, is seeking his fourth title of the season and ninth overall.
In the lead-up to Sunday's final, both players spoke highly of each other. Sinner praised Zverev for his incredible run in Vienna, where he came from two match points down to win the title. Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime acknowledged that playing against Sinner is always a special occasion, as it requires him to be at his best and execute his game perfectly.
Sinner also took a moment to offer words of encouragement to Zverev, saying he hopes the German will get better and fitter for the ATP Finals in Turin. The final between Sinner and Auger-Aliassime promises to be an exciting showdown, with the winner set to reclaim the world number one ranking and potentially secure a spot at the season-ending ATP Finals.

! he's been grinding all year and it's awesome to see him take down zverev like that. 90% of his serve winning is insane 
. auger-aliassime gonna have to bring his A-game if he wants to take down sinner. i'm hyped for the final, should be a thrilling match 
!
that serve of his must've been 
90% win rate is crazy! think he's got this final in the bag 
i'm hyped to see him take on auger-aliassime now tho, those two are evenly matched and it's gonna be a tough final 
let's see how far he can go and if he'll finally get that number one spot back 
the problem is, people are gonna hype up Sinner's win over Zverev like it was some kinda miracle 
newsflash, 6-0 6-1 isn't that impressive, especially if you're playing someone who just went through a grueling match 
Sinner's serve is on fire though 
. Can you imagine Sinner getting back to number one spot? 
It would be such a dominant performance by him and I think he's got this one in the bag 
. Auger-Aliassime is gonna give it his all, but let's be real, Sinner is on fire 
and to top it off he's already saying nice words about you? the guy's gonna give you some props for your run in vienna but still gotta face the music 
and now you're just trying to hold on till the atlantic open 
. And let's be real, if Sinner loses, he's gonna have to go back into rehab mode again 
. Can't wait to see how it all goes down! 
cuz he's been dominating his serves lately 
90% winning rate? That's like saying I'm going to eat all the pizza by myself tonight... 
. Now, can't wait to see him go up against Auger-Aliassime in the final - it's gonna be a tough one! 
no wonder he dominated alexander zverev so easily. and to think he's not even fully rested after the previous match... i mean, what can felix auger-aliassime do against this machine? 
! The 90% win rate speaks volumes about his strategy. It'll be fascinating to see how Auger-Aliassime handles Sinner's high-intensity game next weekend. Given the pressure of potentially reclaiming the world number one spot, I'm intrigued by how Sinner will manage the mental aspect of this match
