Cameron Norrie Exits Paris Masters After Loss to Valentin Vacherot

British No. 2 Cameron Norrie was unable to build on his recent success at the Paris Masters, falling to Valentin Vacherot 7-6 (7-4), 6-4 in the Round of 16 on October 30.

Previous Win Against World No. 1

Norrie entered the match fresh from a remarkable victory over World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, a six-time major winner. He came back from a set down to defeat the top seed in Paris, describing it as the

"biggest win" of his career
because it was his first triumph against a current world number one player.

Match Summary Against Vacherot

Despite a strong effort, Norrie was unable to capitalize on any of his five break point opportunities during the match. Vacherot, who recently made headlines by winning the Shanghai Masters, converted his only break point in the fifth game of the second set.

Player Streaks and Performance

This loss means Norrie has not reached a quarter-final in a singles event since Wimbledon. For Vacherot, his win marks his 10th consecutive victory at Masters-level tournaments, continuing his impressive run following his recent Shanghai Masters title.

Summary

Cameron Norrie's impressive upset over the world No. 1 was followed by a disappointing loss to Valentin Vacherot, who remains on a remarkable winning streak at Masters events.
