Carlos Alcaraz is not content with playing it safe even after the impressive season he has had in 2025.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has won two Grand Slam titles<\/a> this year, with his victory at the US Open<\/a> taking his overall total to six majors.<\/p>\n

The most recent tournament he played on the ATP Tour<\/a> was in Tokyo, where Alcaraz won the Japan Open<\/a> despite physical struggles.<\/p>\n

After Alcaraz lost to Jannik Sinner at the Six Kings Slam<\/a>, he has made plans for what he is going to do differently at the Paris Masters<\/a> to previous years.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has just three more official tournaments to play in 2025, with the first of those coming at the Paris Masters.<\/p>\n

The Paris Masters is the final ATP 1000 tournament of the year, a category of tennis event which Alcaraz has already won three of this year.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has a very impressive ATP 1000 record<\/a>, but the Paris Masters is one of only three he is yet to win the title at.<\/p>\n

The Paris Masters is the only one of these big tournaments that is held on indoor hard courts, and Alcaraz is already making preparations for this.<\/p>\n

According to Eurosport Spain<\/a>, Alcaraz is set to travel to Paris on Wednesday, October 21, in an attempt to adapt better to the conditions.<\/p>\n

Not only is the Paris Masters one of only three ATP 1000 tournaments that Alcaraz has never won before, but it is also by far his worst in this category.<\/p>\n

Having only won five of his nine previous matches at the Paris Masters, Alcaraz has never surpassed the quarterfinals of the tournament.<\/p>\n

The only time he did reach the quarterfinals was in 2022, when Alcaraz was forced to retire against Holger Rune<\/a> due to an abdominal injury.<\/p>\n

Last year, Alcaraz lost to Ugo Humbert<\/a> in the third round and he has only won one match at the Paris Masters since 2022.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz is not the only thing changing at this year\u2019s tournament, with the Paris Masters making a change<\/a> which could have a big impact.<\/p>\n

The main draw of the 2025 Paris Masters will officially get underway on Monday, October 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Carlos Alcaraz is not content with playing it safe even after the impressive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":215707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[1308,870,21834,101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-215706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-atp","tag-carlos-alcaraz","tag-paris-masters","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
