Will the South Tyrolean make short work of his opponent?
The Canadian is the underdog going into the match against the South Tyrolean, who could return to world number one with a win following Carlos Alcaraz’s surprise early exit. However, Auger-Aliassime is playing strongly in the tournament and reaching the final on the Seine has significantly increased his chances of participating in the season finale, the ATP Finals in Turin the week after next.
If he wins the Paris Masters, he will even have his ticket safely in his pocket. Despite the outsider’s strong form, however, we do not expect the match to unfold in this way. His upcoming opponent has stormed into the final without losing a set, and his semifinal against defending champion Alex Zverev in particular was a demonstration of power.
He swept the Hamburg native off the court at La Défense Arena with a score of 6-0, 6-1. In Zverev’s defense, it should at least be added that he was also handicapped by an ankle injury. Sinner, on the other hand, saved a lot of energy with his clear victory in just over an hour of play and will be more rested than his opponent.
Against this backdrop, we are going for a Felix Auger-Aliassime vs. Jannik Sinner prediction of another 2-0 victory for the 24-year-old from Innichen.
Félix Auger-Aliassime – Jannik Sinner Head-to-head record
The two pros have faced each other twice this year. The Italian prevailed at both the US Open last September and the previous Masters in Cincinnati in August. The three previous encounters all ended in victories for the Canadian, however, meaning that the head-to-head record still favors him.
Looking at the Félix Auger-Aliassime vs. Jannik Sinner betting odds, the bookmakers are now clearly assuming that the four-time Grand Slam winner will prevail once again.
Félix Auger-Aliassime – Jannik Sinner Tip
Jannik Sinner can look back on another successful year with two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and Wimbledon. However, he is still waiting to win a Masters title in 2025. Furthermore, the tournament in Paris has not been a strong point for him in the past.
He has been knocked out in the first round twice and made it to the round of 16 once. Now, however, the signs are looking good for him. Record winner Novak Djokovic, the only player to defend his title between 2013 and 2015 in the tournament, which has been held since 1969, did not participate this year, and his fiercest opponent, Carlos Alcaraz, unexpectedly bowed out early.
His run in the tournament has also been very strong, with four wins without dropping a set. In addition, he has beaten his upcoming opponent twice on hard court in the past three months. The Italian was also in convincing form in the run-up to the Paris tournament, with triumphs in Vienna a week ago and previously at the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia.
In light of this situation, we consider the Félix Auger-Aliassime vs. Jannik Sinner betting odds for a straight 2-0 victory for the reigning ATP Finals winner to be very promising. This prediction is reinforced by his opponent’s significantly more difficult path to the final.
The Canadian, who is playing in a Masters final for the first time in his career, has played one more match and went to three sets in the majority (3) of the five duels. Physically, the favorite should also be fresher.
