Alcaraz exacerbated his cruel reality on indoor courts by quickly saying goodbye to the Paris Masters 1000

Everything has an end, everything ends. The amazing streak of the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (1st) accessing nine definitions in a row was cut off unexpectedly this Tuesday, when the British Cameron Norrie (31st) he took it out at his debut Paris Masters 1000 by beating him 4-6, 6-3 and 6-4 to prolong his meager results in courts indoor.

Despite debuting his record on the surface last February, at the ATP 500 in Rotterdam, the young man from Murcia, barely 22 years old, has still not managed to decipher the different secrets to perform at his best on indoor courts, considering that he totals 31 wins and 14 defeats among all the competitions to average a 68.8% effectivenessa not inconsiderable number for an average player but quite irregular when compared to his own performances in the rest of the land.

Taking a quick look you can see that Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil, who precisely aimed against the slow conditions of the Paris La Défense Arena, has found admirable solvency on grasswhere he has already lifted four trophies, two at Wimbledon, and registers a 89.7% of matches won, the product of 35 successes and only four falls, to make it their favorite surface and gain statistics worthy of the best in history.

However, the current leader of the men’s ranking, a position that could give way to the Italian Jannik Sinner (2nd), has also managed to stand out in hard court and about brick dust to seize truly incredible records, following their enviable record of 103-19 (84.4%) and 138-40 (77.5%) with 11, two at Roland Garros, and 9, two at Wimbledon, consecrations, respectively.

It should be noted that something similar happens to the silver medalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as his legendary compatriot. Rafael Nadalwho was only proclaimed on two occasions in courts indoorin, to hang racket with 94-45 (67.9%), something that stands out considerably when compared to his results on clay (90.5%), grass (79.2%) and hard courts (77.4%).
