Jannik Sinner demolishes Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1, storming into the 2025 Paris Masters final. With a dominant 61-minute victory, Sinner is now just one win away from reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking in the ATP standings.

After putting on a brutal performance to defeat world No. 3 Alexander Zverev at the 2025 Paris Masters, Jannik Sinner is getting closer to reclaiming the top spot in the ATP Rankings.

At just 61 minutes, the world No. 2 defeated a physically exhausted Zverev 6-0, 6-1 at the Paris La Defence Arena semifinals.

Sinner wants to win both his first ATP 1000 championship of the 2025 season and his first title at the Paris Masters. The 2024 Shanghai Masters was the most recent of his four Masters victories.

Alexander Zverev is destroyed by Jannik Sinner to maintain the world No. 1 bid.


In the ATP Rankings, Jannik Sinner has reduced the gap with Carlos Alcaraz, and if he wins the Paris Masters final next week, he would be back at the top of the world rankings.
The Italian acknowledged that the German was "obviously not 100%" and offered his sympathies to Alexander Zverev.
Sinner said Felix Auger-Aliassime is playing "great tennis" as he looked ahead to his matchup with the Canadian in the Paris final.

Zverev was clearly having physical difficulties from the beginning of the semi-final, as evidenced by his serving below his typical high speeds.

Sinner capitalised on Zverev's difficulties as he defeated Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling three-set quarterfinal match that concluded late on Friday night.

Sinner's attempt to reclaim the top spot in the world rankings was made possible by Carlos Alcaraz's unexpected defeat to Cameron Norrie in his Paris Masters opening match.

Sinner had one goal in mind: to win the Paris Masters and take the top spot in the ATP Rankings once more.

With his victory in the semi-final, the Italian rose to 11,150 points in the Live ATP Rankings, and he is now only one victory away from accomplishing this.

Sinner is now only 100 points behind Alcaraz, and if he wins the final on Sunday, he would pass his Spanish opponent by 250 points.

Sinner's 2024 ATP Finals victory will drop points at the beginning of this year's tournament, so if he does return to the top of the rankings, it will only be for a week. When Sinner defeated Zverev, what did he say?

Sinner was questioned on the court by Tennis TV about how effectively he handled the circumstance and Zverev's serve in spite of his opponent's illness.

Sinner remarked, "No, you know, you cannot find the full power on the serve either when you dip in the physicality like he did."

Since playing against Sascha is always a very special occasion, it is not how you want to come, even though I am certainly pleased to be in the final. performing at a stadium full of people.

And he was obviously not feeling well today; we could see that he was having physical difficulties due to his extremely busy schedule over the last few months. He won an amazing match yesterday after trailing by two match points, and this is also mentally taxing.

It is an amazing run for him, both physically and mentally, as he made the final in Vienna and is now making the semifinals here. However, we all hope that he recovers and is ready for Turin. However, it goes without saying that I am pleased to be in the final on my side.


Regarding the Paris Masters final, what did Sinner say?


Sinner also discussed his feelings about taking on World No. 10. In Paris, Felix Auger-Aliassime won the championship.

The Italian responded, "Oh, he plays amazing tennis right now."

"He has made significant progress, particularly in the last few months. I am excited to play against him tomorrow, especially in a final, since he has returned to his game. It is a wonderful moment for us both, and we undoubtedly hope for a fantastic finale.

"But once more, I am thrilled for Felix; he is one of the kindest individuals we have on tour, and it will be a unique experience to share the final with him. However, as we both strive to push one another to the limit, the match will be quite challenging.

WWE ICON BELIEVES CM PUNK’S STAR POWER OUTSHINES ANY CHAMPIONSHIP

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff predicts Jey Uso will defeat CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night's Main Event, claiming Punk is "so over" he doesn't need the championship.

CM Punk’s Greatness Unaffected By Titles, Says Eric Bischoff - COURTESY/PHOTO

CM Punk might be the World Heavyweight Champion after tonight's main event. However, one WWE Hall of Famer says he does not require it.

On the newest episode of 83 Weeks, WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff discussed tonight’s World Heavyweight Championship encounter between CM Punk and Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Bischoff thinks Punk is so "freaking over" at the moment that he does not need the title and that Uso should win the bout.

Eric Bischoff declared, "I am going to go with Jey Uso and take the long shot here and the odds." "I mention that because of what I am seeing on social media once more. Jey Uso draws inspiration from a completely different source. My point is that it felt inspired.

Furthermore, I believe that, in the long run, the decision to place it on Jey Uso at this time makes more sense than Punk. Punk is really popular right now. It is absurd. He is not in need of it. It would be helpful to Jey. Therefore, based only on practical considerations, I would wager on Jey. WrestlingNews.co is the H/T.

Eric Bischoff has changed his mind on CM Punk after returning to WWE


Hearing Bischoff now extol CM Punk is amusing. When he was in AEW, he trashed him for a number of years. Bischoff stated unequivocally on The Ten Count that WWE should not allow Punk back to the company, even after he was sacked by the organisation.

According to Eric Bischoff, "I do not think it would be; I think CM Punk shit the bed." "I believe that everyone can see that Tony Khan still had the pipe bomb mystique when he introduced CM Punk to AEW. He was this guy who confronted the man and left, and I believe the typical American admires the defiant or rebellious aspect of that character. Thus, punk maintained its fan base despite its mystique.

And Tony Khan managed to capitalise on that. And that mystique just started to fade over a very short time. It was similar to gradually releasing more air from the balloon every week. Additionally, CM Punk arrived with high ratings. The following week practically began in a freefall, returning to pre-punk levels. You examine AEW's weekly ratings to see where it stands. Because all of the financial data is private, this is the only public thing we can measure.

"The actual financial data is not truly discussed with us. We only receive the top-line information. However, ratings are the information that allows us to determine where this product is going—flatlining. It plateaued to pre-Punk levels shortly after CM Punk arrived. And I believe that people's presence is mostly responsible for that. Their excitement stemmed from the mystique and aura. When they saw, they ehhed.

"Not too much—just a tiny bit, nothing noteworthy. Furthermore, I believe that Punk's behaviour left a negative impression on everyone, not just his supporters. When he is right next to you, why would anyone want to hire a man who is willing to openly criticise the man who writes him a check each week? Why would anyone wish to do business with that individual?

OSCAR DE LA HOYA ANNOUNCES UNEXPECTED SWAP FOR JAKE PAUL FIGHT

Oscar De La Hoya has confirmed Ryan Garcia will NOT replace Gervonta Davis to fight Jake Paul. The Golden Boy promoter cited exclusive contracts with DAZN as the reason the crossover fight is impossible.

The question of whether Ryan Garcia could replace Gervonta Davis to face Jake Paul has been addressed by Oscar De La Hoya.

An exhibition fight between Paul and Davis was scheduled for Friday, November 14, but it is now seriously doubtful since a fresh civil case was launched against "Tank" in the last few days.

According to reports, several opponents have been contacted about possibly taking Davis' place, and Paul's promotional team MVP has already stated that they are considering all of their options regarding whether or not to move forward with the fight.

Former WBC interim lightweight champion Garcia, who actually faced "Tank" himself in April 2023 and lost via stoppage in the seventh round, is one man who has been mentioned.

Even though Garcia lost his most recent contest against Rolly Romero in May, he is still a well-known boxer and has previously expressed his desire to take on Paul.

Nevertheless, Garcia's promoter De La Hoya has since declared on social media that there will not be a fight between Paul and "King Ry."

Reporters phone me when I wake up to inquire about Ryan Garcia and Jake Paul. Allow me to explain why this fight will not take place. Jake Paul fights on Netflix, and Ryan Garcia fights for DAZN. That is essentially the bottom line, I mean.

The current situation is that Golden Boy has a contract with DAZN, and Golden Boy has a contract with Ryan Garcia. This is business, after all. Ryan Garcia will likely go on a tirade about how you are preventing me from earning money and other things. No, you must abide by the regulations and the law.

"You have agreements with Golden Boy and DAZN. That is not how it occurs. I will announce Ryan Garcia's next fight, including who he will face and when.

A former world heavyweight champion has also been connected to the fight, which means Paul might have to go elsewhere for his next opponent.
