Overview
- The world No. 1 lost 6-4, 3-6, 4-6 to 31st-ranked Cameron Norrie in the second round in Paris.
- He logged 54 unforced errors and won 46% of the 187 points played in a performance below his season standard.
- Former French pro Nicolas Escudé called his showing “borderline listless” after previously questioning his late-season hunger.
- The defeat snapped his run of nine consecutive finals and matched his joint-earliest exit of 2025 after a March second-round loss.
- Norrie secured a third win in their eight meetings as Alcaraz turns to the ATP Finals in Turin, where he is 3-4 across two appearances.
