ATP Paris: Shelton Beats Rublev and Secures His Spot in the Masters!
Ben Shelton electrifies Paris and earns his ticket to the ATP Finals.
He raises his fist, shouts, and the Nanterre crowd erupts. Ben Shelton delivered one of his most complete performances since his injury, dominating Andrey Rublev 7-6(6), 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals of the Rolex Paris Masters.
But beyond this victory lies a true accomplishment: at just 23 years old, Shelton secures his qualification for the ATP Finals in Turin, the year-end event for the world's top eight players.
Just a year ago, Shelton was still a raw and inconsistent talent, but today he has become one of the most feared players on the tour, with 40 wins in 2025 and four Masters 1000 quarter-finals.
For a place in the semi-finals, he will face the winner of the match between Sinner and Cerundolo.
