Some experts and insiders thought that Jannik Sinner would have missed the Paris Masters 1000 as he had done last year, when he was forced to miss the last Masters 1000 of the season due to an illness that did not prevent him from winning the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin a short time later.
The world No.2 has not been able to rest much recently, as he played the Vienna ATP 500 immediately after triumphing at the 'Six Kings Slam' in Saudi Arabia for the second year in a row. The 24-year-old Italian had to play for five consecutive days in the Austrian capital and felt a bit tired during the final against Alexander Zverev last Sunday, but he was the protagonist of a sensational comeback to win his fourth title in 2025.
The star from Sesto Pusteria arrived in Paris as soon as possible and immediately started practicing at the 'Dfense Arena', waiting to make his debut against the Belgian ace Zizou Bergs tomorrow. The four-time Grand Slam champion has never reached the quarterfinals in the French capital and will try to improve his record in this edition, but everyone knows that his main goal is the ATP Finals scheduled in Turin in less than two weeks.
Sinner doesn't think about No.1
In his pre-tournament press conference, the No.2 seed confided that he is not interested in returning to the top of the ATP rankings by the end of this year: "I don't think it's a realistic goal and I'm not thinking about it right now. It will definitely be one of my main goals next season, but I have other priorities now.
I have achieved important goals this year and I just want to end 2025 in the best possible way. December will be a very important month for me, in which I will work on different aspects to further improve my game. In any case, I am already very satisfied with what I have achieved this year."
As everyone knows, Jannik will not participate in the Davis Cup Finals in Bologna.
