Ben Shelton vs Carlos Alcaraz: Carlos Alcaraz to win the match (-357)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Ben Shelton faces Carlos Alcaraz at Paris Masters on Sunday 8 November 2026. They are playing on a hard court. This is a match winner bet, so it lands if Carlos Alcaraz wins the match. It was priced at -357 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.80 if it lands. Our model likes this one a lot. Carlos Alcaraz is the favorite to win against Ben Shelton because he has been playing really well recently, with a strong win rate in his last five matches. He serves effectively, winning a high percentage of his first serve points, which is important on hard courts. Plus, his overall performance on this surface has been solid. Bet only what you can afford to lose.

Ben Shelton vs Carlos Alcaraz: Carlos Alcaraz -3.5 Game Handicap (-108)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Carlos Alcaraz takes on Ben Shelton in what promises to be an exciting match. Alcaraz has been playing at a high level lately, and he's got the experience that might give him an advantage. Betting on him to win by at least four games could be wise, especially since the matchup is rated close to a coin flip. However, Shelton's recent performances show he can surprise opponents. If he plays at his best, this bet could become tricky. Still, Alcaraz's skill and consistency make him the favorite here, so I think he can cover the handicap.

That is everything our model likes in this game. Prices can move before you get on, so check the board at your bookmaker. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
