Former world No. 1 says Alcaraz’s risky play backfired in a shock first-round defeat to Cameron Norrie in Paris.

Carlos Alcaraz thought he would perform much better in his first official tournament in indoor conditions since February, but his run at the Paris Masters 1000 ended in the second round against a deluxe version of Cameron Norrie.

Carlos Alcaraz entered the Paris Masters to bid for his second indoor hardcourt title of his career. But to his complete disappointment, the six-time Grand Slam champion suffered a three-set defeat at the hands of Cameron Norrie.

Cameron Norrie produced the biggest win of his career as he came from a set down to beat world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of the Paris Masters.

Carlos Alcaraz gave a worrying verdict after he was beaten by Cameron Norrie on what appeared to be an off-night for the world No. 1. He was seen arguing with his coach throughout the match and later said that a poor choice of gameplan was partially responsible for the upset.
