Félix Auger-Aliassime on Fire: A Final in Paris and a Ticket to Turin at Stake!
Félix Auger-Aliassime is back at the top. By dominating Alexander Bublik in two sets, the Canadian has earned a spot in the final of the Rolex Paris Masters and a unique chance to clinch both his first Masters 1000 trophy and his ticket to Turin.
Félix Auger-Aliassime will play his second Masters 1000 final tomorrow. The Canadian, in great form at the end of this season after his title in Brussels, will try to win his first trophy in this tournament category in Paris.
In the semi-final this Saturday, he dominated Alexander Bublik with authority. Solid on serve (10 aces, 86% of points won behind his first serve), he won the first set in a tie-break before turning the situation around in the second set, stringing together five consecutive games after being down 4-1.
Winner 7-6, 6-4, Auger-Aliassime reaches his fourth final of the season, while also overtaking Lorenzo Musetti in the Race. If he wins the title on Sunday, he would seal his qualification for the Turin Masters by securing the eighth and final ticket.
Boasting an impressive record of 82 wins to 29 losses indoors since 2020, the Canadian hopes to conclude this Parisian week in style. He will face either Jannik Sinner or the defending champion, Alexander Zverev, in the final.

You can't approach the doper by just saying, oh, pity me, I'm going to lose so badly cause he's so good!
You have to have the attitude of BUT, like you did. I'm better than him, BUT he was able to close out the match. I'm better than him, BUT he improved.
Hope you have it in you to beat him despite him taking steroids.
