Cameron Norrie was unable to build on his sensational win over Carlos Alcaraz as he was knocked out of the Paris Masters by red-hot Monegasque Valentin Vacherot on Thursday.

Vacherot came through against British No 2 Norrie 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 to extend his Masters 1000 winning streak to 10 matches.

The 26-year-old, who claimed a shock victory against his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the final of the Shanghai Masters earlier this month, eased past Jiri Lehecka before winning his rematch with Rinderknech on Wednesday.

Vacherot continued his hot streak by beating Norrie, who came into the match having stunned world No 1 Alcaraz 4-6 6-3 6-4.
