Paris (AFP) — Felix Auger-Aliassime held his nerve to beat in-form Kazakh Alexander Bublik on Saturday and reach the second Masters final of his career in Paris, where he will face either Jannik Sinner or Alexander Zverev.

The Canadian ninth seed clinched a 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 victory at the La Defense Arena, as Bublik crumbled from 4-1 up in the second set of his maiden Masters 1000 semi-final.

“It’s a pleasure. All finals of Masters 1000s are a dream, but (especially) in Paris, a tournament with so much history and important past champions,” said Auger-Aliassime.

“I hope I can get the support of the French crowd for one more day to push me to the end.”

Auger-Aliassime climbs above Lorenzo Musetti into the eighth and last qualifying spot for the ATP Finals in Turin later this month.
