(Photo: Getty)Alcaraz needs to make at least the semifinals of the Paris Masters in order to retain his hold on the No. 1 ranking. An early exit coupled with Jannik Sinner's victory would displace the Spaniard from the summit. However, with his current form, he will be the favorite to reach at least the final.Alcaraz has won his last three ATP tournaments, and hasn't lost prior to the final since the start of April. With two Major titles and three Masters 1000 titles, this has been a career-best season for him. He has a 67-7 record for the season, while Norrie has won a total of 50 matches since the start of 2024.Norrie has also tallied 17 wins at the Masters 1000 level since the start of 2023. Alcaraz, on the other hand, has a 21-2 record at the Masters 1000 level this year. Their results speak for themselves. While Norrie has a couple of wins over Alcaraz, both of them came when he was a top 15 player. He's far from his peak these days, thus making the possibility of an upset quite slim.Pick: Carlos Alcaraz to win in straight sets.Carlos Alcaraz vs Cameron Norrie betting tipsTip 1: Carlos Alcaraz to win.Tip 2: The match will have at least 18 games.
