Cameron Norrie Fights Back To Win Cincinnati Battle With Andy Murray Tennis

His head didn’t drop, his shoulders didn’t sag, and he emerged from his bathroom break after the first set still positively looking for a solution. He finally found it. After three hard-fought, physical sets that left Murray writhing badly from his chair at the end of the match, Norrie reached the third round with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Murray to secure the first his win against former No. 1 Despite years of training together on the courts of the National Tennis Center, in which both players had come to understand the other’s game, Norrie and Murray had only met once in an official match before, in Beijing, which Murray won in three closed. scenery. But then Norrie was 69th, just a solid 100 player. He’s a different player today. They arrived at the Center Court on Wednesday morning and, predictably, fierce, exterminating rallies ensued. Murray was extremely sharp from the start, dictating through the baseline, driving forward to finish off net points and allowing few unforced errors. The constant pressure he put on Norrie finally told and, at 4-3, he grabbed the decisive break with a supreme, angled backhand winner. But Norrie carried on as he always does, keeping his composure and consistency. After serving well and navigating four consecutive holds, Norrie stepped into the baseline, looking for forehands in the big moments and breaking free. In the big moments he served well, ending the second set with an ace. Throughout the final set, Murray created plenty of opportunities to grab an important victory, particularly in a tight, 3-3 tie game in which he earned three break points. But with each error in those crucial points, Norrie further locked down his game, forcing Murray to hit him as he refused to run out of big rallies. As these physical exchanges went on, Norrie’s determination gradually wore Murray down physically. Murray began to cramp and eventually served a double fault on break point. As Norrie swept the final games and secured victory, Murray’s cramps continued after the handshake and he was visibly in pain as a coach tackled him on court.

He had compiled a record of just two wins and three losses in North America, with first-round losses in Washington and Montreal hard to swallow. His performance was an improvement on previous weeks and to fight to the end against a highly ranked player who is in a Wimbledon semi-final is a positive performance. But he leaves with lingering questions about his preparation. This summer, Murray suffered from cramping in Newport, Washington, and now in both games this week. Murray described the cramping as a major concern, but he doesn’t know why it occurred.

I have experienced cramping but not consistently like in many tournaments. Big concern for me, because it’s not easy to play, you know, when it gets bad like it was at the end. I feel like it had an impact at the end of the game.” After another display of consistency and strength, Norrie’s 39th win of the season earned him a third-round match against promising 19-year-old American wildcard Ben Shelton, who defeated fifth-seeded Casper Ruud 6-3, 6- 3. Norrie ended his day playing over two hours in doubles alongside Alex de Minaur in their 4-6, 6-3, 11-9 loss to Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies. Even after a tough three-set grind, he still had a lot more miles left in his legs.
