Cameron Norrie pulled off one of the biggest upsets of 2025, knocking out world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of the Paris Masters.

Alcaraz looked well below his best, piling up 54 unforced errors over the match. Norrie took full advantage, coming back from a set down to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 at Paris La Défense Arena.

Norrie moves on to face Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot in the third round, while Alcaraz is left to reflect on another missed opportunity in Paris.

Alcaraz has never won the Paris Masters and hasn’t advanced past the third round since his quarter-final run in 2022 when he lost to eventual champion Holger Rune.
