Sinner Seizes Masters 1000 Chance as Alcaraz Crashes Out in Paris
31 Oct
Summary
- Alcaraz praised Norrie after his defeat, opening path for Sinner
- Sinner aims to win his 3rd Masters 1000 title in Paris
- Sinner leads ATP in service and return games won in 2025
As of October 31st, 2025, Jannik Sinner has a golden opportunity to claim another Masters 1000 title after the defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, was knocked out early in Paris. Alcaraz, who had nothing but praise for his conqueror Cameron Norrie, has opened the door for Sinner to capitalize on this chance.
Sinner's tournament started with a solid win over Zizou Bergs, and he'll be determined to go all the way this time after losing two previous finals in Paris. The Italian acknowledged that Norrie played "incredible" tennis and deserved the victory, but now Sinner's focus has shifted to his pursuit of the world number one ranking.
Even though he's still early in his career, Sinner is already establishing himself as one of the dominant players on the ATP Tour. A third Masters 1000 title would only strengthen his reputation, and he's also closing in on a unique bit of ATP history. So far in 2025, Sinner leads the tour in both service games won and return games won - a feat no player has ever achieved by the end of a season.
