Sinner dispels doubts about his insulting superiority
The Italian secured a spot in the semifinals of the Paris tournament after a solid performance against a Shelton who found no gaps to surprise.
Another day in the office, although it seems like he went to work with a hangover. Jannik Sinner is in the semifinals of the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025 after convincingly defeating Ben Shelton with infinite ease. Despite his tiredness and some back pains, he won with insulting ease against one of the best in the world by 6-3 6-3.
It is clear that Jannik Sinner is physically fatigued, and he could consider saving energy for the Turin event if things get tough. However, even more evident is his manifest superiority over all his opponents. It was expected that Ben Shelton could challenge the Italian, but nothing could be further from the truth. With his usual solidity, the Italian secured another victory in the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025, bringing him closer to a new title and, consequently, to reclaiming the world number one spot.
Sinner finished the match with 16 winners and 10 unforced errors
He is on another level. Reading Sinner's matches through a cycling lens makes us think of that climber who sets a relentless pace from the foot of the mountain, leaving rivals behind. Some cling to his wheel with suffering, keeping up for some time, but end up yielding to the inevitable. This was the story in the first set, where the American seemed to have a chance to cause an upset until the Italian decided it was time to accelerate.
Far from his best physical performance, panting like a retiree between points, clutching his back as if he were an elderly person, Jannik ruthlessly punished his opponent while the ball was in play. The same script unfolded in the second set, where Ben glimpsed a chance when he leveled the score to 3 after conceding a break, but only succeeded in awakening the beast. The good old Jannik Sinner closed the match brilliantly and continues to progress in the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025, now just two matches away from the title and regaining the world number one ranking.
