Carlos Alcaraz’s excellent comeback continued as he defeated Ben Shelton 7-6(5) 7-5 to claim the Paris Masters title for the first time.
World No 3 Alcaraz missed nearly five months of the 2026 season with a wrist injury and his initial comeback came to an end at Shelton’s hands, with the American triumphing in a epic five-setter in the US Open quarter-finals.
