Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton will meet in the final of the Paris Masters after both players advanced through the semifinals on Saturday. The championship match pits the Spanish star against the American, who has reached his sixth final of the 2026 season.
Shelton's run to the title match continues a breakthrough year for the 24-year-old, who has established himself as a consistent contender on the ATP Tour. His power game and aggressive baseline play have troubled opponents throughout the indoor hard-court event at the Accor Arena.
Alcaraz, a multiple Grand Slam champion, seeks to add another Masters 1000 trophy to his collection. The 21-year-old Spaniard has navigated the draw with his characteristic blend of creativity and intensity, setting up a compelling stylistic contrast against Shelton's big-serving approach.
The final is scheduled for Sunday at the Accor Arena, with both players aiming to close the European indoor swing on a high note ahead of the season-ending ATP Finals in Turin.
