ATP Paris Semifinal Predictions Including Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev

The ATP Paris Semifinals in 2025 will feature two of the most competitive matchups on the ATP Tour, on a slowed hard-court surface that is producing close battles. We take a look and predict all of the semifinal action.

Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Alexander Bublik

Auger-Aliassime won the only h2h meeting this year in Dubai but it was a three-set war. Bublik has 2 wins in the h2h, FAA has three. The Canadian is resurgent on the ATP Tour this season and has battled for his place in the ATP Tour Finals in Turin. His close wins over Francisco Comesana, Alexandre Muller, and Daniel Altmaier were backed up by a routine win over Valentin Vacherot in the quarterfinals, the current toast of the ATP Tour. Auger-Aliassime is trying to win his third title of the season.

Bublik is a great indoor hard court player, the world #16 continues to make a push for a top 10 ranking by early next year. 46-22 on the season is his best ever year on tour. Bublik has four ATP titles in 2025, including a recent win in Hangzhou. The results and the stage keep getting bigger for Bublik, who narrowly beat Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals. At this venue, I really like Bublik’s game and an upset feels possible, but Auger-Aliassime is in prime form. Prediction: Auger-Aliassime in 3 sets

Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev

Sinner has worked hard to even the h2h, as he’s won the last three meetings against Zverev, including the Vienna final this year and the Australian Open final to make the overall h2h 4-4. That Vienna final was a thriller and this match promises the same.

Zverev needed a third set tiebreak to beat Daniil Medvedev from a set down, he also beat Camilo ugo Carabelli, and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina this week, the Carabelli match was also a close one. Sinner is 51-7 on the season and won titles in Beijing and Vienna recently. On this surface, he’s dominant, Ben Shelton never got a foot in in the quarterfinal, and he hasn’t dropped a set all week. Zverev will bring his a-game, but at the moment that’s not enough. Prediction: Sinner in 2 sets
