Frustrated world number one Carlos Alcaraz was knocked out of the ATP Toronto Masters 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 on Friday as American Tommy Paul ended the Spaniard’s 14-match winning streak.
Top-seeded Alcaraz was unable to escape the poor form that has plagued him all week as he prepares for a U.S. Open title defense starting in just over two weeks.
The 20-year-old muttered to himself and chastised his play during a match lasting more than two and a quarter hours.
