Jannik Sinner has continued his stunning season on the ATP Tour by lifting the trophy at the Paris Masters.

Sinner didn’t drop a set en route to winning the Paris Masters, with the title clinched after a 6-4, 7-6(7-4) final victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Auger-Aliassime received praise from Sinner after their final, which was decided after one hour and 52 minutes of action.

The Italian now boasts 23 ATP Tour titles from his career at the age of 24, with the Canadian remaining on eight after his near miss in France.

And having lost their first two meetings, Sinner now has a 3-2 head-to-head record over Auger-Aliassime after their latest battle.

The three active ATP players who have a winning head-to-head vs Jannik Sinner

All three of Sinner’s wins over Auger-Aliassime have arrived this season, with the former also beating the latter at the US Open and Cincinnati.

But while he has been a dominant force on the ATP Tour in recent times, there are three active players who do boast a winning head-to-head record against Sinner, concerning those he has played more than once.

Carlos Alcaraz (10-5)

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Carlos Alcaraz is one such player, with the Spaniard having won 10 of their 15 meetings.

Sinner notably lost to the Spaniard in this year’s French Open and US Open finals, although he did triumph in their Wimbledon final.

Moreover, the Italian has just stolen back the bragging rights in one regard having just replaced Alcaraz as the world number one in the updated ATP top 10.

Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-3)

Undoubtedly more of a shock, Stefanos Tsitsipas boasts a superb 6-3 head-to-head record over the world number one.

Withdrawing from the Hellenic Championship, Tsitsipas has just ended his season, which involved one title in Dubai for the former world number three.

He has since fallen all the way down to 34th in the ATP rankings after a difficult season, in which he managed to avoid taking on Italian superstar Sinner.

Pablo Carreno Busta (2-1)

The third and final active player with a winning head-to-head over Sinner is Pablo Carreno Busta, who has won two of their three meetings.

They haven’t met on the ATP Tour since 2022, which is the same year of the Spaniard’s most recent title at the Canadian Masters.

The current world number 91 beat Sinner en route to the title, having also emerged victorious in their Rotterdam quarterfinal in 2022.
