Return Quality as a Match Key

On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross dissects Jannik Sinner’s victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime in the 2025 Rolex Paris Masters to lift that trophy for the first time in his career and extend the win streak on indoor hardcourt to 26. We’ll discuss Sinner’s improved percentage serving and dropshot, do a match summary, talk return quality, compare the backhands and put plus-one forehands under a microscope. Finally, we’ll address the importance of the number one ranking - how much does it matter than Sinner passed Carlos Alcaraz this week?
