Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 1:36Alcaraz's sharply angled backhand passing shot earns a smile from Shelton.
  2. 3:41The tightly contested opening set reaches its decisive tiebreak sequence.
  3. 5:12Alcaraz switches to a delicate drop shot that Shelton cannot reach.
  4. 6:10An extended rally sends Alcaraz across the court before he finds a crosscourt winner.
  5. 7:11The title-deciding sequence begins, followed by the players' net exchange and trophy presentation.

Even Ben Shelton has to smile at this one. Carlos Alcaraz chases a short ball and flicks a backhand past him at an angle that seems to leave almost no court to aim for.

That exchange gives Tennis TV's Paris final highlights their early spark. By the end, Alcaraz has his first Rolex Paris Masters title, winning 7-6, 7-5 before the pair embrace at the net. The video has drawn about 830,000 views since yesterday.

It is quite a destination after the escape against Taylor Fritz that we reported here: Alcaraz faced match points in that quarter-final. Now he is lifting the tournament's tree-shaped trophy amid stage fireworks, with the commentary noting a third title in his last four tournaments.

Shelton makes him work for it. The opening set goes to a tiebreak, and the highlights repeatedly put Alcaraz under pressure before showing how quickly he can change the shape of a point. A soft drop shot leaves Shelton stranded; later, sustained scrambling becomes a crosscourt winner and a roar from the crowd.

Viewers are picking out both the shot-making and the exchanges between the finalists. Some discuss Shelton's decisions to come forward, while others point to Alcaraz's smiling celebration or the words shared at the net. Tennis TV has also posted a separate upload devoted to the pair's sportsmanship after the final.
