Jannik Sinner and Felix auger-Alias-AliasShime will be in debt for the fifth time in their careers when they meet in the final of the Rolex Paris Masters on Sunday afternoon.
The head-to-head series is tied all 2-2. Although the sinner has won twice in a row, their most recent meeting was very competitive – a 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 victory for the Italian in this summer’s open. Auger-Aliassime’s two victories came in 2022; 6-1, 6-2 in Madrid and 2-6, 7-6 (1), 6-1 in Cincinnati.
World No. 10 He is certainly not afraid of these games – especially not in and not in his current form. Auger-Aliassime entered the NITTTO ATP Finals position with a Semifinal Run at the US Open, Brexand Muller, Daniel Vuller, Daniel Vullerot, and Vaniel Vaperot, and Alexander Alexander Bublik.
“You’re playing amazing tennis at the moment; you’ve improved a lot,” the sign carried. “Especially in the last few months, he’s found his game again. I’m looking forward to it; I’m very happy for both of us. I’m very happy for Felix – he’s one of the best guys.”
The sinner is wrong. The Italian second in command will have to be the best thing on Sunday, so far that effort has been hit or miss this week. He looked less than 100 percent in Paris, but that didn’t stop him from beating Zizou Bergs, Francisco CERULLOO, Ben Shelton, and Alexander Zvereev all in straight sets.
This is a winning game for the auger-aliassime, in part because the sinner has a much bigger event on his mind coming up in Turin – where he will be defending his 2024 title in front of his home crowd.
Auger-Alias hopes to join him there, but nothing is certain. With two ATP 250 tournaments in Next Week’s Schedule, Lorenzo Musetti can reclaim his spot. It’s between a win with a win or at least two wins in Medz Clining the 25-year-old’s place regardless of whether Wimetti is given next week.
