Carlos Alcaraz says he is ready for "one of the most difficult challenges in tennis" after setting up a rematch against Ben Shelton in the Paris Masters final.

After escaping two match points to pull off a comeback in his quarter-final against Taylor Fritz on Friday, Alcaraz secured his first appearance in the Paris showpiece with an efficient 6-4 6-4 win over Casper Ruud.
