"Massive (victory), so big for me, Norrie said. I have been coming back from my injury. Last year, I lost first round of qualies (qualifiers) here. I have just tried to enjoy my tennis in the second half of the year and I was able to do that and to get a win like this, the biggest of my career, my first over a world number one and especially against the most confident player in the world right now."
"Fresh from claiming his eighth title of the season in Tokyo, six-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz was off his game, racking up 54 unforced errors and venting his frustration in terse exchanges with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero."
"Alcaraz's defeat was the first time he had lost before a final since March, halting a dominant Masters 1000 run stretching back to the Miami Open, during which he captured titles in Monte Carlo, Rome and Cincinnati."
Cameron Norrie rallied from a set down to beat world number one Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 at the Paris Masters, ending Alcaraz's 17-match Masters 1000 winning streak. Alcaraz, fresh from a Tokyo title, produced 54 unforced errors and showed visible frustration during the match. Norrie built confidence throughout, saved two break points in the seventh game of the final set, and held serve to win after two hours and 22 minutes. The victory advanced Norrie to the last 16 at a Masters event and equalled his best Paris result since 2021; Alcaraz risks losing year-end No.1 if Jannik Sinner wins the title.
