Jannik Sinner is eyeing redemption at the Rolex Paris Masters, where his record has been less than ideal. Despite a stellar 2024 season, which includes three ATP Masters 1000 titles, the Italian faces an early test, possibly against rising American star Ben Shelton. The upcoming matchup is set to challenge Sinner’s return game, particularly if Shelton’s lefty serve looms in the first round.
Sinner’s Paris history reveals a string of disappointments: in three previous appearances, he secured only one match win, followed by a withdrawal last year. Reflecting on the unique conditions in Paris-Bercy, Sinner acknowledged the court’s challenges for returning serves, especially against big servers like Shelton. “[It is a] very tough draw…[the court] can be tricky with big servers,” he explained
🎙️ “J’ai hâte d’y être”

Originally, Sinner was scheduled to face either Shelton or Felix Auger-Aliassime. However, with Auger-Aliassime’s recent withdrawal, Sinner’s opponent is now up in the air. Yet, the 22-year-old remains focused, attributing his 65-6 record this season to mental and physical readiness, honed for whatever the Paris draw throws his way.
