Jannik Sinner advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 Paris Masters with a 7–5, 6–1 victory over Francisco Cerundolo. Despite twice going up a break in the first set, the world No. 2 struggled to convert, allowing Cerundolo back into the match before closing the set with a decisive push. “I was up twice with a break in the first set. I couldn’t convert. I put myself in a not easy situation,” Sinner said. “But I’m happy how I ended the match. I felt much better.”

Confidence building ahead of tougher tests

Sinner emphasized the importance of momentum and mental clarity as he prepares for his next opponent, Ben Shelton. “This hopefully can give me the confidence to start off tomorrow in a good way,” he said. With each match presenting new challenges, Sinner remains focused on adapting. “Every match is different, so let’s see what’s coming.”

Physical recovery remains the priority

Following a physically taxing run in Vienna, Sinner has been managing his condition carefully. The relatively short match against Cerundolo—completed in under 90 minutes—was a welcome relief. “I hope that I can recover physically, which is my main priority,” he said. His ability to finish the match efficiently could prove crucial as the tournament intensifies.

Indoor dominance continues

Sinner’s win extended his indoor hard-court winning streak to 23 matches, reinforcing his status as one of the most consistent performers on the surface this season. With the ATP Finals in Turin approaching and the No. 1 ranking still within reach, every match carries weight. “Today was still a great match and a great performance from my side,” Sinner concluded, reflecting on his form and readiness for the next challenge.
