PARIS - Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the Paris Masters tennis tournament final with a straight-sets win over Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan on Saturday.

Montreal's Auger-Aliassime prevailed 7-6 (3), 6-4 in the semifinal over the 13th-seeded Bublik.

The Canadian will face Italy's Jannik Sinner in Sunday's final. Sinner routed Germany's Alexander Zverev 6-0, 6-1 in Saturday's later semifinal, and moved closer to reclaiming the world No. ranking.

Auger-Aliassime and Sinner are 2-2 in head-to-heads, with Sinner winning the past two — including in the semifinals at this year's U.S. Open.

His semifinal victory in Paris allowed Auger-Aliassime to leapfrog Italy's Lorenzo Musetti into the eighth and final qualification spot for the ATP finals next month in Turin, Italy.
