PARIS -- Jannik Sinner reclaimed the No. 1 ranking in men's tennis after beating Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the Paris Masters final Sunday.

The four-time Grand Slam champion from Italy is replacing six-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz at the top as he extended his indoor winning streak to 26 matches, following up victory in Vienna last Sunday with his first Paris title.

The ninth-seeded Auger-Aliassime needed to win the tournament at La Défense Arena to clinch the eighth and final spot for the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin, Italy.

"It's huge, honestly. It was such an intense final here, and we both knew what's on the line," Sinner said. "For him, it's a very tough and difficult spot, but from my side, I'm extremely happy."
