Carlos Alcaraz conquers Paris, Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert delight the home crowd, Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva make peace, plus all the ATP beef that's fit to post BELOW.
I must say I was pretty stunned when I saw Taylor Fritz "cooling down" after blowing two match points -- and a place int he ATP Finals -- against Alcaraz. Yes, Kathy May's son is a world class athlete. But I've always felt like he doesn't look or move like one -- so it was some of the tastiest egg I've ever had on my face.
Carlos Alcaraz defeated Ben Shelton 7-6(5), 7-5 to capture his first Paris Masters crown and ninth Masters 1000 title, avenging his U.S. Open quarterfinal loss to the American. The victory was Alcaraz's fifth title of 2026 and second in as many weeks, following his triumph in Vienna, as he heads to the ATP Finals in Turin.
French wildcards Quentin Halys and Pierre-Hugues Herbert delighted the home crowd by winning the Paris doubles title, defeating American Christian Harrison and Britain's Neal Skupski 7-6(3), 6-7(4), 10-8 in a thrilling final. The pair knocked out the top three seeds en route to their third title together, with Herbert claiming his second Paris Masters doubles crown.
Ex marks the spot!
Poland's Magda Linette rallied to defeat defending champion Janice Tjen 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 in the Chennai Open final, capturing her fourth WTA title and first since 2024. The 34-year-old dedicated her victory to the victims of the mass shooting in Krakow, where six people were killed, saying it was difficult to celebrate in the wake of the tragedy.
The 2026 ATP Finals get under way on Sunday, November 15, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin, Italy, with the world's top eight singles players competing for the season-ending championship through November 22. I'd love to see Carlitos win it all -- something his idol Rafael Nadal was never able to accomplish during his illustrious career.
