- Ahead of the ATP Finals, which run November 15-22 in Turin, world number three Alcaraz now holds five tour-level titles this year -- only the injured Jannik Sinner has more with six.
- For world number four Shelton, it was a first defeat in a Masters final after winning his two previous appearances in showpiece matches at that level -- both coming in the last two editions of the Canadian Open.
- He did so at the first time of asking but when required to serve again to force a breaker, Shelton cracked as Alcaraz again pounced to seal the title with a flicked backhand winner.
