One of the ATP Tour’s most prolific indoor performers shows no signs of slowing down at the Rolex Paris Masters.
Felix Auger-Aliassime continued his purple patch from late 2025 on Saturday with an impressive 7-6(3), 6-4 semi-final victory against Alexander Bublik in the French capital. The ninth-seeded Canadian was clinical with his chances in his 96-minute win to secure a spot in his second ATP Masters 1000 final while replacing Lorenzo Musetti in the final qualifying spot for the Nitto ATP Finals.

“I’m so happy. A Masters 1000 final sounds really good,” said Auger-Aliassime after reaching his second championship match at that level after Madrid 2024. “You don’t play those finals every week. Hopefully I can go all out and win the title. In terms of today and even the last few matches… You get into a Masters and every match is tough.”
“It’s a 56 draw and it’s stacked. You wake up one day and feel, ‘This guy is playing well, everyone is playing well’. So you’re always curious and a little bit nervous to see how your game is going to go. I have a deep confidence in my game. I know what I can do against the best players in the world, but you still have to go out and perform. Today I did really well and I’m happy with the result.”
In addition to a championship match with second seed Jannik Sinner or third seed Alexander Zverev in Paris, Auger-Aliassime also made an important step in the PIF ATP Live Race To Turin with his semi-final win. The 25-year-old has leapfrogged Musetti into eighth place and can round out the only remaining qualifying spot at the Nitto ATP Finals by lifting the trophy in France on Sunday.
