Cameron Norrie vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Recap
Both players began the match on a strong note, holding their serves comfortably for the first eight games.
Norrie finally managed to secure a break of serve in the ninth game of the set. He promptly served out the opener with a confident love service hold. Tsitsipas didn't play too badly, but was a step behind his opponent at times.
The second set mirrored the first, with the duo defending their serves with ease across the first five games. Tsitsipas earned his first break point of the match in the sixth game of the second set, but Norrie played some smart tennis to hold on for 3-3.
After another couple of service holds, Norrie got the upper hand in the ninth game of the set. He took full advantage of a poor service game from the Greek to lead 5-4.
Norrie had no trouble closing out the match to seal his fourth win over a top-10 opponent in 24 matches.
The southpaw has done quite well to turn his season around. He started the year with a 0-4 record, ending his campaign in Australia with no victories under his belt. The World No. 12 then made the quarterfinals in Rotterdam and won the title in Delray Beach.
Norrie will face his biggest challenge yet in the final of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel, as he'll square off against either Rafael Nadal or Daniil Medvedev. Both players are in great form at the moment and the Brit has his task cut out for him.
