After losing the world number one ranking in men’s tennis to rival Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner has reclaimed the title.
The Italian player returned to the top spot after beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to win this year’s Paris Masters after winning two Grand Slam titles earlier this year.
Sinner will sit atop the rankings once the rankings are updated on Monday to include the 250 points he earned by winning the Paris Masters.
This is the 24 year old’s first Paris Masters win and takes him to the top shot he earned for the first time in June 2024; he held on to the number one spot for 65 weeks until Alcaraz usurped him after the Spaniard won this year’s US Open.
“It’s not only in my hands, but I’m of course happy [to return to number one].”

“The goal was to go day by day, trying to maximise my potential, which I have done. Now we recharge and hopefully be as ready as possible for Turin” he said after his Paris Masters win according to the BBC.
