Tennis: Carlos Alcaraz Wins the Paris Masters Against Ben Shelton
Alcaraz claimed his ninth Masters 1000 title and fifth trophy of the season after avenging his U.S. Open loss to Shelton.
- On Saturday, Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton set up a Paris Masters final clash, with Alcaraz defeating Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 and Shelton overcoming Luca Van Assche 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.
- Alcaraz reached the final after saving two match points against Taylor Fritz on Friday to advance to the semifinals, while Shelton earned his first Paris semifinal berth by defeating Tommy Paul 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
- Shelton converted two of four break points against Paul and said, "These are the positions that I want to be in," as he earned his first final appearance in Paris.
- Sunday's match marks the first meeting between the pair since Shelton ended Alcaraz's US Open title defense earlier this season; Shelton's win over Paul also ended his rival's ATP Finals hopes in Turin.
- Coming off a Vienna title win last week, Alcaraz looks fresher than many rivals at this stage of the season. Asked about next year's Australian Open in January, he said he prefers focusing on his game and learning new skills.
