Alcaraz takes revenge on Shelton to win first Paris title

Alcaraz will now seek to end a challenging year - which he began by becoming the youngest man in history to complete the career Grand Slam at the Australian Open - with a statement victory at the ATP Finals in Turin.

The seven-time major winner will head into that event on a nine-match win streak, having triumphed in Vienna before his victory in Paris.

Only two days ago, Alcaraz stood on the brink of a quarter-final loss to Taylor Fritz but saved two match points to pull off a comeback victory.

It is the fourth time in his career that he has won a title after being match points down at a tournament.
