Jannik Sinner moved a step closer to reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters. 

Carlos Alcaraz’s shock second-round loss to Cameron Norrie has opened the door for the Italian, who can leapfrog the Spaniard by capturing the title here. Sinner will now face defending champion Alexander Zverev.
