Auger-Aliassime advances to Paris Masters final, on verge of qualifying for ATP Finals

Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime advanced to the Paris Masters tennis tournament final with a straight-sets win over Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan on Saturday.

Montreal's Auger-Aliassime prevailed 7-6 (3), 6-4 in the semifinal over the 13th-seeded Bublik.

The Canadian awaited the winner of a later semifinal between second seed Jannik Sinner of Italy and third seed Alexander Zverev of Germany to know his Sunday opponent.

With the semifinal win, Auger-Aliassime leapfrogged Italy's Lorenzo Musetti into the eighth and final qualification spot for the ATP Finals next month in Turin, Italy.

Regardless of Sunday's outcome, Auger-Aliassime would take a 90-point lead over Musetti into next week's Moselle Open in Metz, France. Musetti plays next week in Athens.

Got the job done
