Overview
- Carlos Alcaraz fell 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to Cameron Norrie in the second round, tallying 54 unforced errors in his opening match at La Défense Arena.
- With Alcaraz out, Jannik Sinner will reclaim the top ranking only if he wins Paris, entering in form after his Vienna title.
- Cameron Norrie, who beat Sebastián Báez in round one, moves into the last 16 to face either Arthur Rinderknech or Valentin Vacherot.
- Argentina’s results were mixed: Francisco Cerúndolo advanced to face Miomir Kecmanovic, Camilo Ugo Carabelli defeated Tomás Etcheverry to meet Alexander Zverev, and Francisco Comesaña lost a tight three-setter to Félix Auger-Aliassime.
- The Paris Masters, the last Masters 1000 of the year, carries major ATP Finals implications, and the slower indoor conditions at the new venue drew complaints from players including Alcaraz.
