World No 3 wins 7-6 (5), 7-5 Spaniard claims ninth 1000-level title of his career Carlos Alcaraz avenged his loss to Ben Shelton in the US Open last eight as he edged the American 7-6 (5), 7-5 to win the Paris Masters on Sunday, clinching his ninth ATP 1000 title. The world No 3 controlled the contest from the baseline to become the first Spaniard to win the tournament since David Ferrer in 2012, while Shelton was left frustrated by an erratic forehand.
