Cameron Norrie Upsets World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz at Paris Masters

The error-strewn display leaves his top ranking at risk if Jannik Sinner wins Paris.

Overview

  • Cameron Norrie rallied to beat Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, reaching the last 16 and setting up a meeting with Valentin Vacherot.
  • Alcaraz said he had “no feeling at all” for the ball and committed 54 unforced errors, and he was seen exchanging heated words with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.
  • The defeat ends Alcaraz’s 17-match Masters 1000 winning streak and continues his winless record at the Paris Masters.
  • Live rankings show Alcaraz on about 11,240 points to Jannik Sinner’s roughly 10,510, with Sinner reclaiming No. 1 if he wins the Paris title.
  • Sinner opened his campaign by defeating Zizou Bergs and will face Francisco Cerundolo next, while Norrie called his victory the biggest of his career and his first over a world No. 1.
