Cameron Norrie Stuns World Number One Alcaraz at Paris Masters
Cameron Norrie shocked world number one Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters, ending Alcaraz's 17-match winning streak. Despite Alcaraz's strong season, unforced errors cost him the match. Norrie, who recently returned from injury, celebrated his biggest career victory, advancing to the tournament's last 16.
In a remarkable upset at the Paris Masters, Britain's Cameron Norrie toppled world number one Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, halting the Spaniard’s 17-match win streak in ATP Masters 1000 events.
Alcaraz, recently triumphant in Tokyo and a six-time Grand Slam champion, committed an uncharacteristic 54 unforced errors, venting frustration at coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. Norrie, ranked 31st in the world, showcased resilience, fending off crucial break points to secure his place in the third round.
This victory marks Norrie's first triumph over a world number one and propels him to the last 16 at a Masters event for the first time since 2023 in Rome, while casting uncertainty on Alcaraz's hold on the year-end top spot.
