Carlos Alcaraz surprised everyone by being eliminated in his opening match at the Rolex Paris Masters by Cameron Norrie on Tuesday evening.

This defeat could have heavy consequences on his status as world number 1. Jannik Sinner, the world number 2, did not participate in the tournament during the previous edition.

This means that no matter his performance, the Italian will gain points on his great rival. Even better, he could reclaim the world number 1 spot if he wins the title this Sunday.

A status he might also not hold for very long afterwards: as the defending champion at the ATP Finals, he will need to hope for an excellent run in Turin and another disappointment for Alcaraz.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
