Jannik Sinner is only the fourth player in the past 35 years to win the Paris Masters without losing a set

Jannik Sinner beat Felix Auger-Aliassime to win his first Paris Masters title and reclaim the world number one ranking from rival Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner's 6-4 7-6 (7-4) victory over the Canadian extended his winning streak on indoor hard courts to 26 matches - a run that stretches back to the 2023 Davis Cup Finals.

The win lifted the Italian 250 points above Alcaraz in the rankings before the season-ending ATP Finals begin on 9 November.

Sinner's victory ensures the race for the year-end world number one ranking will go to the final tournament of the season - a fitting end to a year where his rivalry with Alcaraz has reached stratospheric heights.
