The match, which lasted under two hours, was shorter than their quarter-final clash in New York two months prior. With this victory, Alcaraz now boasts five tour-level titles this year, while Shelton, the world number four, suffered his first Masters final defeat after winning the previous two editions of the Canadian Open.",
