Jannik Sinner wins Paris Masters second round to continue No.1 bid

Jannik Sinner began his Paris Masters campaign with a commanding 6-4, 6-2 win over Zizou Bergs, extending his indoor hard court winning streak to 22 matches. He did not face any break points and converted three of eleven break points, displaying strong serving and precise movement on a unique indoor court. Sinner's victory came at a crucial time as he aims to reclaim the ATP No. 1 ranking, a position lost to Carlos Alcaraz in September, who was recently eliminated early in the tournament. Sinner will next face Francisco Cerundolo in the third round, keeping his hopes alive for winning his first Masters 1000 title this season and regaining the top spot. Other notable players advancing include defending champion Alexander Zverev and Felix Auger-Aliassime, while Daniil Medvedev advanced via walkover. Sinner expressed satisfaction with his performance, particularly his serve and movement, which were key to his successful start in Paris.
