A tense moment unfolded at the Paris Masters 2025 when Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz was seen in a heated exchange with his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, after dropping the second set against Britain’s Cameron Norrie.

Carlos Alcaraz suffered an early loss at the Paris Masters, losing to Cameron Norrie 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in two hours and 22 minutes. It was the Spaniard's worst performance since March. Despite winning the opening set, he never felt comfortable on the court, hitting without confidence and missing a chance to seal the year-end no. 1 battle.

The world No. 1 was asked for his thoughts on the "ideal number" of matches a top player should play in one season ahead of his opening match at the Rolex Paris Masters.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set for a potential showdown in the Paris Masters final, with both players coming in as the top seeds. This year has clearly favoured Alcaraz, who has come out on top in seven of their last eight encounters.

Jannik Sinner won't compete for two-time defending champion and host Italy in the Davis Cup Final 8 next month but Carlos Alcaraz has been named on Spain's team.

Alcaraz is now stuck at 11,250 points, and Sinner, who didn't play in Paris last year, will keep adding to his 10,510 points with every win—10,600 for reaching the third round, 10,700 for reaching the quarterfinals, 10,900 for reaching the semifinals, 11,150 for reaching the final and 11,500 for winning the title.

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.
