Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated in his opening match at the Rolex Paris Masters by Cameron Norrie. His match was marked by 54 unforced errors on his part and a lot of frustration resulting from this performance.
Speaking on Tennis Channel, Jim Courier commented on Alcaraz: "If there's one thing that fascinates us about Alcaraz, it's his unpredictability, his reckless risk-taking, and his total commitment on every point, defying all logic.

Usually, it works for him, but when it doesn't... 54 unforced errors in a match, that's Alcaraz's trademark, he plays in kamikaze mode. This leads to conceding more than two sets to his opponent.
It reminded me of what happened in Miami against Goffin (Alcaraz's defeat in two sets in the second round).
