For nearly four decades, the Rolex Paris Masters has been where the season’s final sparks fly. A place where champions rise to deliver another dazzling performance, where the crowd’s roar bounces off the roof and the lights pulse with every forehand.

Few tournaments blend elegance and energetic chaos quite like Paris. So it feels fitting that, for its 40th edition, the event has moved to La Défense Arena, Europe’s largest indoor sports venue and a bold new stage for indoor tennis.

“It’s stunning. If you like tennis, this is the place to be right now,” said Felix Auger-Aliassime, the No. 10 player in the PIF ATP Rankings. “You can see all the players with so many matches, which is great. Honestly, the attention to detail is second to none. Even the seats for the players, everything is stitched on. It’s beautiful.”

The numbers alone tell the story. The 17,500-seat centre court makes it the second-largest tennis court at a year-round event in the world, behind only Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open.

If Felix Auger-Aliassime can go on to secure a spot at the 2025 Nitto ATP Finals, he will have done it the hard way.

Needing a third-round victory on Thursday at the Rolex Paris Masters to keep his hopes of qualifying for the prestigious season finale in Turin alive, the ninth-seeded Canadian overcame Daniel Altmaier 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. It was the third time in as many matches in Paris this week that Auger-Aliassime has rallied from a set down to advance.

“Three sets all week. It’s been a struggle all week,” reflected Auger-Aliassime. “Just fighting back, I feel like every day. That’s why I came in today knowing it might be tough again. Just stay calm, stay patient, and try to find solutions. I tried to dig deep. I know I have solutions within myself, but it’s just about making the right choices and executing right.

“I started serving better and better as the match went on. I was struggling with his change of pace on the serve… It was just a bit of a mix up in my mind, where to return. I found a way to pressure him and broke him three times in the rest of the match.”

Tennis is a dynamic, fast-paced sport involving repetitive, high-impact movements such as serving, volleys, and sudden changes in direction. These actions place considerable stress on the joints, tendons, and muscles, leading to a specific set of common injuries, particularly in the upper and lower extremities. Understanding these risks is key to i...

Under the bright lights of La Défense Arena, Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime will step onto court chasing significant milestones when they battle for the Rolex Paris Masters title on Sunday.

For Sinner, victory would mark his first Paris crown and seal a triumphant return to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, reclaiming it from rival Carlos Alcaraz. Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime — up to eighth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin — can book his spot at the prestigious Nitto ATP Finals if he emerges victorious. Their championship clash is slated for not before 3 p.m. CEST/9 a.m. EDT.

The pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series stands at 2-2, though Sinner has claimed consecutive victories in Cincinnati and at the US Open this year. Their semi-final in New York was a gripping four-set encounter, with Auger-Aliassime briefly threatening to turn the tide before Sinner’s poise prevailed.

“At one point I saw him doubt and I actually nearly had a momentum shift where I could turn the match around in my favour,” Auger-Aliassime said of that match. “After different reasons, maybe he had a letdown, and the match turns around again. But it was encouraging to see that. These players are not unplayable. They are very strong, yes. Sometimes they're really unplayable, but there's a way to upset them.”

The 2025 Rolex Paris Masters concludes Sunday, when second seed Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime will clash in the final, which will take place not before 3 p.m. CEST.

Sinner is tied with Auger-Aliassime at 2-2 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series, with the Italian claiming victories in Cincinnati and at the US Open this year. The doubles final will take place before the singles final.

Results - Saturday, 01 November 2025

Jannik Sinner and Felix Auger-Aliassime are set to face off in the 2025 Rolex Paris Masters final, which will take place Sunday, not before 3 p.m. CEST/9 a.m. EDT.

Sinner, the No. 2 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, is level with Auger-Aliassime at 2-2 in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series. The 24-year-old won their past two meetings, in Cincinnati and the US Open earlier this year.

The Italian is on a 25-match winning streak on indoor hard courts and is aiming to clinch his first crown in Paris and 23rd overall. Should he win, he will reclaim the top spot in the PIF ATP Rankings from Carlos Alcaraz.

Auger-Aliassime will be competing in his second ATP Masters 1000 final and is aiming to win his fourth title of the season. The Canadian currently holds the eighth spot in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin and will qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals should he defeat Sinner in Sunday's final.

An ATP 250 doubleheader brings the 2025 PIF ATP Live Race To Turin to a close this week, when Athens and Metz play host to high-stakes indoor hard-court action.

ATP Tour tennis returns to Athens for the first time since 1994 with the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Hellenic Championship, where former No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings Novak Djokovic headlines the field. Djokovic’s fellow Top 10 star Lorenzo Musetti seeks a deep run in Athens to try and claim the final open spot at the upcoming Nitto ATP Finals.

Meanwhile Musetti’s only rival for that Turin place, Felix Auger-Aliassime, is the top seed at the Moselle Open in Metz. ATPTour.com looks ahead at five things to watch at each event.

FIVE THINGS TO WATCH IN ATHENS
1) Djokovic Returns To Action: The 100-time tour-level champion Djokovic competes for the first time since reaching the Shanghai semi-finals last month. The 38-year-old is the top seed in Athens, where he will be aiming to settle quickly into his indoor groove ahead of the Nitto ATP Finals. Djokovic starts his title bid in Greece against Alejandro Tabilo or Adam Walton.

2) Musetti Plays For Turin Spot: After his early exit at the Rolex Paris Masters, Musetti will aim for a big finish to his 2025 PIF ATP Live Race To Turin in Athens. The Italian, who is ninth in the Live Race as he chases a Nitto ATP Finals debut on home soil, trails eighth-placed Auger-Aliassime by 160 points, although the Canadian could establish an unassailable lead as early as Sunday by winning the Paris final against Jannik Sinner.

Jannik Sinner advanced to his maiden final at the Rolex Paris Masters on Saturday after he surged past a physically hampered Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1.

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 on Friday night, but he struggled with his movement and looked out of breath at various points during his semi-final clash with Sinner.

“When you drop the physicality like he did, you cannot find the full power on serve,” said Sinner, who won 13 of 16 second-serve return points, according to Infosys ATP Stats. “I’m happy to be in the final, but it’s 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.

“He was struggling physically. He won an incredible match yesterday, two match points down… Making the final in Vienna, coming here and making the semis again, it’s an incredible run, but we all hope that he gets better and fit for Turin.”

Rohan Bopanna, the former No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Doubles Rankings, announced his retirement on Saturday.

The Indian star amassed 26 tour-level doubles titles during his career, including the Australian Open in 2024 with Mattew Ebden. With that triumph, Bopanna rose to World No. 1 for the first time and became the oldest man to do so at 43 years.

“How do you bid farewell to something that gave your life its meaning? After 20 unforgettable years on tour, however, it’s my time… I’m officially hanging up my racquet,” the 45-year-old Bopanna wrote on Instagram.

“Tennis hasn’t been just a game for me - It has given me purpose when I was lost, strength when I was broken and belief when the world doubted me.”

One of the ATP Tour’s most prolific indoor performers is showing no sign of slowing down at the Rolex Paris Masters.

Felix Auger-Aliassime on Saturday continued his late-2025 purple patch with an impressive 7-6(3), 6-4 semi-final victory against Alexander Bublik in the French capital. The ninth-seeded Canadian was clinical with his chances in his 96-minute victory to secure a spot in his second ATP Masters 1000 final and simultaneously replace Lorenzo Musetti in the final qualification spot for the Nitto ATP Finals.

Got the job done ?@felixtennis | @RolexPMasters | #RolexParisMasters pic.twitter.com/wdxg5SrqIN

“I’m so happy. A Masters 1000 final sounds really good,” said Auger-Aliassime after reaching his second championship match at that level after Madrid 2024. “You don’t play those finals every week. Hopefully I can go all the way and get the title. In terms of today and even the past matches… You get into a Masters, and every match is tough.

“It’s a 56-draw and it is stacked. You wake up on a day and feel, ‘This guy is playing good, everybody is playing good’. So you’re always curious and bit nervous to see how your game is going to match up. I have deep self confidence in my game. I know what I can do against the best players in the world, but you still have to go and execute. Today I did really well and I’m happy with the result.”

The ATP 250 in Athens next week could decide Lorenzo Musetti’s Nitto ATP Finals fate and feature an early test for 100-time tour-level titlist Novak Djokovic, providing several intriguing storylines for fans to follow at the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Hellenic Championship.

With one Nitto ATP Finals spot still up for grabs, Musetti is fighting to keep his hopes alive in a tight PIF ATP Live Race To Turin that could be decided in the final week of the season. Meanwhile, top-seeded Djokovic could open his campaign against a familiar foe — Alejandro Tabilo, one of three players to have faced the Serbian at least twice and not lost.

Musetti, eighth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, is aiming to make his Nitto ATP Finals debut and join countryman Jannik Sinner at the season finale on home soil.

Should ninth-placed Felix Auger-Aliassime win his semi-final match Saturday at the Rolex Paris Masters, the Canadian will move ahead of Musetti, adding weight to the 23-year-old’s Athens appearance. Musetti will begin against former No. 3 Stan Wawrinka or Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp.

Djokovic, competing for the first time since Shanghai, will face either Tabilo or Australian Adam Walton in his opening match. Tabilo beat the 100-time tour-level titlist Djokovic earlier this year in Monte-Carlo and last season in Rome. Djokovic holds a 35-11 season record, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index.

Alexander Zverev earned a memorable victory Friday when he saved two match points to oust rival Daniil Medvedev and keep his title defence hopes alive at the Rolex Paris Masters.

Zverev’s 2-6, 6-3, 7-6(5) victory ends his five-match skid against Medvedev and earns him a semi-final showdown against second seed Jannik Sinner, a rematch of last week's Vienna final won by the Italian. Meanwhile, Medvedev’s chances of a Nitto ATP Finals bid are done.

“The thing I’m most pleased with is the match points saved, the way I continued being brave and in the important moments, winning the match myself,” Zverev said in his on-court interview.

From the start, a dialled-in Medvedev stuck to his trademark deep return position, which Zverev tried to counter early with serve-and-volleys or by using drop shots. Zverev, who fell in the eighth game and briefly held his left hamstring, switched his strategy to rely more on his firepower. He lifted the ante and began to test Medvedev from the baseline.

“I felt like in the beginning I was playing well, but I was playing very stupid tactically,” Zverev said. “I felt my shots, I felt like I could turn the match around because I was feeling really well with my shots, but again, I was playing very, very dumb. I changed a few things in my tactics and broke back. He helped me with a break break [at 1-0 in the second set].”

Felix Auger-Aliassime took the long road to victory on Sunday, but he did so in style to capture the title at the BNP Paribas Fortis European Open in Brussels.

The 25-year-old Canadian outlasted Jiri Lehecka 7-6(2), 6-7(6), 6-2 in the final to firmly reignite his bid to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals. Auger-Aliassime couldn't convert two championship points in the second-set tie-break, but ultimately regrouped to carve out a clinical win for his third ATP Tour title of the season.

“It’s the final, so we put everything on the line. I feel like we were both extremely focused from the beginning,” said Auger-Aliassime. “It was a high level for two sets, then you don’t know how things can go… But I’m obviously glad.”

With his two-hour, 34-minute victory, Auger-Aliassime jumped to ninth in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin, narrowing the gap to Lorenzo Musetti to just 330 points as the battle for the season finale heats up. However, he will like his chances during the European indoor swing.

Few tournaments chart Jannik Sinner’s evolution quite like the Erste Bank Open in Vienna.

The Italian paid his first visit to Vienna as an 18-year-old wild card in 2019, when he made his maiden ATP 500 main-draw appearance. Six years later, Sinner returns to Vienna for his sixth appearance and as a former champion, having lifted the trophy in 2023.

Flashback to 2019 and Sinner’s Vienna outing marked an important milestone in his teenage breakthrough. Beyond the viral moment of him casually munching on a carrot during a changeover, Sinner notched a first-round win over respected veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber — his seventh tour-level victory — to secure his place in the Top 100 of the PIF ATP Rankings.

Sinner arrived in Austria following a semi-final run at the ATP 250 in Antwerp and then after Vienna, he won the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF and an ATP Challenger Tour event in Ortisei, Italy.
