Cameron Norrie

[exislander]

Second set - Cam breaks first game, struggles to hold for 2-0. Breaks again for 4-1. Almost there, 5-1.
Yesssss! 6-2 on the second match point.
First time in main draw of a Masters 1000. Well done Cameron!

[lynne]

Well Done Cameron!!!! Great result! & thanks exislander for posts!:thumbup:

[Alis]

Well done, Cam!

[Jane]

Well done, Cameron :cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Jan]

Fabulous!!
:GBflag:

[anor]

Yes, a good win for Cam, evening up H2H with Sergei and hopefully a great chance to go further as he meets fellow qualifier Taro Daniel in Rd 1. Taro is a tricky opponent but as they are nip and tuck in the rankings it should be a good battle. Go Cam!

[Linda]

Well done Cam! :GBflag: No doubt Sergei will be having another moan about 'pampered Brits'. Glad Cam's been put in a QvQ slot, should be an evens chance in that match.

[RosieBear]

Well done Cam and congrats on first masters MD :clap: - definitely a winnable r1, so best of luck to him :peace:

[roytennisfan]

Well done Cam, up to #102 and so close to making top100. Taro has his ups and downs but certainly beatable. Novak awaits the winner, how's that for an incentive?

[JAMES4578]

Quite comprehensive in the end and certainly a good win for Cameron, well done! Making impressive progress and looks to be a winnable draw with Taro, come on!

[Jane]

Cameron plays Taro Daniel and have just started. (Sky Sports Action) Best of luck, Cameron:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[jagmad]

Cam holds for
1-1 1st set

[jagmad]

Actually just had a thought.
Could Cam be the last Brit to win a full five set match in DC?

[Jane]

First set to Daniel - 6-3

[Jane]

Second set to Cam - 6-1 :dance: :dance:

[lynne]

Second set for Cameron 6-1 played a lot better in that set!!

[exislander]

A much better second set.

[JAMES4578]

Hopefully Cameron keeps momentum going, come on!

[Jane]

:crying: Daniel won the match

[lynne]

Not to be for young Cameron, shame but he has done well to get this far,all a learning curve for the young man!!

[JAMES4578]

Yes unfortunately broken early in 3rd and match went away from him, still definitely making progress and good to watch!

[Linda]

:sad:

[karanga]

Sad to see Cameron go out. Saw bits of his match and thought he started the match really well.

Still a learning curve for him. :sad:

[scrapaddict]

Playing in Miami S. Kozlov (USA) 3rd on court 4 which starts at 10.00.a.m.

[Jan]

Cam's played his match and won 6-1 2-0 ret.
Cam plays qWC Patrick Kypson in FQR

[roytennisfan]

Cameron has qualified winning 6-7 6-3 6-1 well done Cam

[anor]

Yea, well done Cam! It seemed to take him a set to quell the 18 year old but he controlled the match after that. It's so frustrating watching live scores not knowing how well or otherwise our favourites are playing!

[roytennisfan]

Cameron is up 3 to #102 In live, could make the top100 very soon he's currently only a few points short and has nothing to drop until May

[Alis]

Is Cam now through to the main draw? Sorry, I hadn't read the previous post - well done, Cam! Let's hope he gets a decent first round draw.

[JAMES4578]

Comprehensive in the final set, well done Cameron!

[roytennisfan]

Is Cam now through to the main draw? Sorry, I hadn't read the previous post - well done, Cam! Let's hope he gets a decent first round draw.

Plays Jarry chi, certainly winnable. The 10 extra points added for appearing in md take Cam to #101 In live, getting so close to entering the top100, another win will probably do it but dependent on other results with lots close to him pointswise

[roytennisfan]

1 all, Cam held down to good serving

[themass15]

Keeping an eye on the score while watching Ronnie o'sullivan

[roytennisfan]

Cam had first bp but Jarry sent down an ace. 2-3

[roytennisfan]

4-5 Jarry holds with some big serves, c'mon Cam

[roytennisfan]

Cam struggling 2df now sp saved deuce

[roytennisfan]

Big hold, Cam struggled getting serves in but fighting hold

[roytennisfan]

5-6 Cam needs to hold and win tiebreak

[roytennisfan]

Another df but Cam holds...tiebreak

[roytennisfan]

Still struggling on serve 1-2

[Sallydaisy]

Tiebreak it is: Jarry serving first
*1-0
1-1*
2-1* Uh oh!
*3-1
*4-1 *sigh*
4-2* change of ends

[roytennisfan]

First set gone, 6-7 Jarry serving much better than Cam who is now struggling to land a first serve

[Sallydaisy]

4-2*, Cam has another serve to come
5-2* TB not going well for our Brit ...
*6-2
*6-3 Cam claws one back.
7-3* but can't hang on.

first set to Jarry 7'6(3)

[roytennisfan]

Looking all over 1-2

[roytennisfan]

Bp to Cam...big serve

[roytennisfan]

Loose game by Jarry but he holds

[roytennisfan]

Jarry getting more big shots in now pressure is off, breaks again to love 2-5

[roytennisfan]

All over, started ok but service deteriorated and went downhill from there

[Nessie]

Real shame - Mark and Barry are so frustrating, I think that they have short term memory problems because Cam can beat top 20players on clay!

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing Cameron fell away in 2nd and perhaps not one of his best performances, however he obviously can rise to ocassion.

[Nessie]

Anyone know why Cam isn’t playing in the Monte Carlo qualies? Is he injured?

[anor]

Not sure. He was on the Alts list and would have got into Qualifying at the last minute as several of the Qualifiers were still playing in Marrakesh so could't take up their places. However he may have decided not to make the journey and he is still on the list for Barcelona next week. Haven't heard that he is injured.

[Nessie]

He now isn’t on the list for Barcelona qualies. Where is he??! Such a shame after his superb Davis Cup performance

[Linda]

How odd. Is he injured? Really hope to see him playing again soon.

[Nessie]

That’s what I wondered, can’t see him anywhere!

[JAMES4578]

Is that right?
fellow Scot Cameron Norrie performed heroics in the absence of both the former world No 1 and Kyle Edmund during that defeat by Spain earlier this year.

[scrapaddict]

Well done Cameron and Kyle - good win

[scrapaddict]

Great start by Cameron 3-0 against Haase so far

[scrapaddict]

tense last few games but Cameron wins the first set 6-4 - well played

[Jan]

Haase is doing better in the second though - a break up.
Come on Cam!

[scrapaddict]

5-3 to Cam in the 3rd -needs to calm those nerves to serve it out

[Jane]

Cam wins ...6-4, 3-6, 6-3....well done :yahoo: :yahoo:

[scrapaddict]

And he wins 6-4 3-6 6-3 brilliant win against a seasoned campaigner - is that his first senior tour win??

[Nessie]

Great win, that should really help confidence and move him up the rankings a little.

[exislander]

That is a great win by Cameron - seems clay is a great surface for him!

[Jan]

:cheer::cheer:

[RosieBear]

Really good win for Cam, love him, he's so poised :thumbup:

[roytennisfan]

Great win for Cam, currently #100 in live rankings

[themass15]

That's good hopefully he can go higher this week.

[anor]

Well done, Cam! He steadied the ship after letting 3 MPs slip in previous game. Very nervous watching on live scores.

[JAMES4578]

Certainly a good win, well done Cameron!

[lovetennis]

Sadly wasn't able to watch but really chuffed for Cam. He loves the red dirt doesn't he

[Linda]

Fantastic!

[JerryD]

Can is in the main draw for RG

[supergran]

Good news. Wish him lots of luck. His tweet said it all....he is so thrilled.

[JerryD]

Yeah I Saw that bless him :)

[scrapaddict]

Dping well so far 4-4

[Jane]

Cam gets the first set 7 - 5 .....well done:dance::dance:

[scrapaddict]

off topic but Joe Salisbury won the first set in his doubles match and its 5-5 in the second

[themass15]

Come on Cameron. Good news about direct entry to Roland Garros too.

[roytennisfan]

Massive game this, many deuces but Cameron can't break so it's 1 all in second set. Cmon Cam solid hold needed now

[JimmyG]

Massive game this, many deuces but Cameron can't break so it's 1 all in second set. Cmon Cam solid hold needed now

Oops... :pirate:

[roytennisfan]

2-6 Momentum against Cameron, really needs a big start to this deciding set

[Jane]

Cam lost the second set 2- 6:sad: C'mon Cam

[Jan]

Oh :sad:
Come on Cam!!!

[Jan]

4-1* in the third

[scrapaddict]

5-2 in the third - nearly there Cam - go go go

[Jan]

exhausting!

[Jan]

broken 5-4*
COME ON

[RosieBear]

Gah. Cam broken when serving for match. C'mon Cam!

[scrapaddict]

Cam needs to break him in this next game so he doesn't have to try and serve it out again. he has to play doubles after this too!!!!

[scrapaddict]

Match point - come on Cam

[RosieBear]

Come on Cam!!!

[RosieBear]

So frustrating, oppo typical grinder, doing nothing but letting Cam implode on the big points. C'mon Cam you can do this.

[Jan]

Oh.....................
5-5

[scrapaddict]

Now 6-5 - break him now Cam

[Jane]

tb time:sofa:

[Jan]

tb time:sofa:

My feelings exactly

[Hawkeye]

Not the best of tie-breaks...

Lost it 7-1.

[scrapaddict]

Want to cry - so near but very good experience

[RosieBear]

What a shame, Cam just going for too much against a very frustrating opponent. Disappointing because definitely a winnable match for him, but onwards and upwards.

[Jan]

Soooo close
:crying:

[Jane]

:crying::crying:

[roytennisfan]

That was so so frustrating, Cameron currenty #100 in live, probabably a NCH, but lots who can go past him with a few more wins this week, so unlikely to enter top100 next week

[Linda]

:crying:

[exislander]

He has reached the semi in the doubles with Kyle!

[JAMES4578]

Pity about singles but so close, well done with kyle in the doubles though!

[roytennisfan]

Yep done well in the doubles won all 4 sets played, in the other semi is Joe Salisbury as well

[exislander]

And now into the final 6-2 7-6!

[roytennisfan]

Well done Cam, first ATP title with Kyle

[exislander]

Well done Cameron and Kyle!

[scrapaddict]

Well done boys

[anor]

Well done guys! :trophy:

Well done boys.:clap::clap:

Great result! Well done!!

Wonderful!:clap::clap::trophy::trophy:

Does this mean that Cam will not play Madrid because he missed the qualies???

[Sallydaisy]

Does this mean that Cam will not play Madrid because he missed the qualies???
Cam is playing a Challenger event in Aix en Provence.
Obviously thought he wasn't ready for a Masters yet.
:shades:

[roytennisfan]

Cam is playing a Challenger event in Aix en Provence.
Obviously thought he wasn't ready for a Masters yet.
:shades:

Cameron is fourth seed there and drawn against De Schepper, it's a ch125 tournie

[roytennisfan]

I did say Cam was #100 in live a few days ago but that he was likely to drop, well Daniel and Lacko both won so his NCH tomorrow will be #102, top100 a bit elusive for Cam, he's been close for some time now. A couple of wins next week likely to be enough.

[roytennisfan]

Bad start for Cam, 0-3 against De Schepper

[Jan]

Cam lost the first set 6-1, but has taken the second 6-2.
Come on Cam!

[roytennisfan]

Now 4-1 up in the decider

[roytennisfan]

Another break for 5-1

[roytennisfan]

Good win after shaky first set, needs another to enter top 100, glad he got in French MD after Andy's withdrawal

[Jan]

Hooray - well done Cam!
:GBflag:

[anor]

Well done Cam! It took him all of the 1st set to fathom out Kenny and I kept thinking about his relative lack of success against fellow lefties, as well as the amazing reach which his opponent has. I had to go out at end of 1st set so was pleasantly surprised to see from my phone that he had turned it around and was steaming to a win.

[exislander]

Sadly Cam lost 6-2 3-6 5-7 in a long slog to Elias Ymer.

[Jane]

:crying::crying:

[JerryD]

not surprising giving his efforts last weekend. I hope he doesn’t drop his head too much

[anor]

Sad to see Cam lose that one after taking 1st set 6-2. He seemed to be outmuscled by Ymer and got frustrated.

[Linda]

:sad:

[roytennisfan]

Cam still not broken into top 100 a win would have put him there. He cant seem to string singles wins togethet to win decent points at the moment.

[anor]

I know we are finding it frustrating so imagine how Cam is feeling. However it is only 1 year since he committed fully to being a pro and he still has a massive amount of learning to do in dealing with more experienced, stronger hitting opponents and guys who are just as committed as he is. He'll get there.

[Stell]

I think he's done very well since he turned pro. After coming back, from two sets down, and beating Bautista Agut on clay and then automatically getting into the French open draw makes him a good player to me.

[Nessie]

Sadly not making a good start in the Rome qualies. 5-1 down to Delbonis already. Maybe he can suss him out in the second set.

[Nessie]

Unfortunately he lost the second set 6-0. Not a good day at the office! Not sure if he can now play in a challenger next week or not.

[JAMES4578]

Certainly looks like disappointing display from Cameron, however he can bounce back!

[scrapaddict]

Thought Cameron was in the main draw for Roland Garros but I can't see his name??

[roytennisfan]

Thought Cameron was in the main draw for Roland Garros but I can't see his name??

He should be, he got in after Andy withdrew

[roytennisfan]

Cameron is in the MD at Lyon 250 (formerly Nice) and with face Hernandez-Fernandez (Q)

[roytennisfan]

Cameron won 7-6 6-1 shpuld be in top100 next week

[Hawkeye]

Cameron gets a MD wild card for Queen's.

[roytennisfan]

Cameron will face Marterer who beat Monfils(6) next

[roytennisfan]

Great first set from Cam 6-1

[anor]

Excellent win for Cam, 6-4 in 2nd! Good stats too. :clap: :clap:

[Jane]

Cameron wins the match 6-1, 6-4....well done:yahoo::yahoo:

[roytennisfan]

Good win for Cam 6-1 6-4, will face Isner(2) or Albot next

[JAMES4578]

Well done Cameron, could be challenge in next round!

[Jan]

:cheer::cheer:

[roytennisfan]

Cam will face Isner and with Albot losing plus Lacko losing at Loughborough, Cam will be a NCH of at least #96 next week

[roytennisfan]

Cameron is currently 5-5 v Isner

[roytennisfan]

TieBreak

[roytennisfan]

Minibreak 2-0

[roytennisfan]

Great play Cam, forehand winner 5-1

[roytennisfan]

Djokosmash 6-1

[roytennisfan]

7-1 Cam on fire

[themass15]

Just seen Cam has won first set tie-break by 7-1. Wowee

[sir coolerking]

Even more on fire now as he's broken Isner in the opening game of the 2nd set.

[themass15]

Wish I was watching, let's hope he can go all the way to the semi now.

[roytennisfan]

3-1 Holds to love, Isner not returning serves now

[sir coolerking]

Last two service games were tough and he saved 3 break points, but he's hanging on and it's 5-3.

[roytennisfan]

5-4 Isner love hold, cam 1/1 isner 0/4 on BPs

[roytennisfan]

MP but gone, Isner slams 2nd serve

[roytennisfan]

Another mp...gone

[roytennisfan]

Forehand winner 3rd time c,mon YEEs

[anor]

Wowee! What a great win for Cam! How I would have loved to have watched that match.

[roytennisfan]

Great display, Cam really had to fight those than 3 service games, will face Simon or Kukushkin in his first ATP Semi Final

[themass15]

Brilliant win for Cameron, should give him confidence. Let's hope he gets a good draw at Roland Garros.

[patlowe]

Impressive! :clap::clap::clap:

[exislander]

Watched the second set and Cam was very impressive serving it out against strong resistance from big John.

[roytennisfan]

The win takes him up to at least #85 next week, not bad for first 12 months on the tour!

[roytennisfan]

Brilliant win for Cameron, should give him confidence. Let's hope he gets a good draw at Roland Garros.

There will be quite a few seeds who won't fancy getting Cameron now, Isner is a big scalp in more ways then one!

[Jane]

Wow - just come back in to see Cam's terrific result against Isner - very well done:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Teresa]

That’s brilliant. (I do have a little soft spot for Isner, for not screwing up Murray’s run to No 1, and losing to James W in D.C. I was happy he got his Masters 1000). Well done to Cameron.

[RosieBear]

Wonderful! Great win for Cam :clap:

[cazza99]

The win takes him up to at least #85 next week, not bad for first 12 months on the tour!


Brilliant. What ranking was he at the start of the year and 12 months ago?

[Jan]

Fabulous news to come home to!
:GBflag:

[jackie55]

Brilliant news, well done Cameron:boogie:

[Linda]

Fantastic!

[JAMES4578]

Delighted to hear, awesome for Cameron in beating Isner in straights-well done!:clap::clap: BBC Scotland saying he's joined the elite, obviously still a work in progress though.

[Genbrit]

Fantastic win for Cameron. Woweeeee!! C'mon Cam :)

[patlowe]

Brilliant win for Cameron, should give him confidence. Let's hope he gets a good draw at Roland Garros.

He will play Gojowczyk in the first round. Gojo playing very well at the moment.

[scrapaddict]

brilliant news- just the confidence giver he needed before RG

[Alis]

Amazing - well done indeed!

[Pam]

Absolutely awesome performance. Well done Cameron :GBflag:

[roytennisfan]

Brilliant. What ranking was he at the start of the year and 12 months ago?

Cameron about to start, he was 250+ a year ago but was just finishing college in Texas, at start of year something like 118, i think, but he had virtually no points to defend because he played Uni tennis only between Feb and May last year.

[roytennisfan]

Awful start, broken in opening game 0-1

[roytennisfan]

Cam finally gets on board, 1-4

[roytennisfan]

Not great, Simon well on top 1-6

[roytennisfan]

Cameron better 5-5
Cam has drawn Gojowycyzk (who has just beaten Fognini In Switz semi)in Roland Garros

[roytennisfan]

TB

[roytennisfan]

Cam leads 4-1 2minis

[roytennisfan]

Slipped away 6-6

[roytennisfan]

Cam loses 8-6, much better second set but didn't get any BPs all match, started poorly lots of UEs. Simon is a tough character, seems to be hitting some form before RG

[Jan]

Shame - Giles is so unpredictable, but obviously decided to have a better day today.
Good week for Cam though.

[Teresa]

Simon can be a vicious little clod of Earth, when he is in the mood. He almost trashed the D.C. dream at Queens. However beating Isner was a brilliant sign. Onwards for Mr Norrie.

[suttontennis]

Simon is no respecter of reputations, either long standing or growing. When you play him you know you are in for a battle, so it's no surprise that Cam came up short against him. Still, another good week for Norrie. No doubt the 'not British born and bred' tag will soon be dusted off by the press.

[Hawkeye]

Hasn't really happened to Laura Robson or Johanna Konta, I think he'll be fine.

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing but usually a challenge following up a big win (even if clay is not Isner’s fav surface) and of course Simon can be very tough on his day. Still great progress from Cameron.

[cazza99]

Disappointing but usually a challenge following up a big win (even if clay is not Isner’s fav surface) and of course Simon can be very tough on his day. Still great progress from Cameron.

And Simon did have a French home crowd behind him too.

[RosieBear]

As others have said, Simon is one tough cookie - no shame in losing to him, esp in France. Onwards and upwards for Cam :thumbup:

[exislander]

Cameron takes first set 6-1 looking good!

[Jane]

Cameron takes the first set at Roland Garros - 6-1:dance::dance:

[exislander]

Opponent now MTO

[exislander]

And retires so Cam is through.

[Jane]

Such a pity, but good for Cameron

[JAMES4578]

Pity it ended that way, however Cameron will be fresher for next round though it is against 15th seed Pouille.

[roytennisfan]

Cameron enters the top100 as #85 in the rankings today as predicted and this win takes him to #76 in live. Next round he will face Pouille(15), tough but you never know.

[cazza99]

Cameron plays Pouille next - could well be on a major show court.

[cazza99]

Cameron plays Pouille and the French crowd next - could well be on a major show court.

[supergran]

Retirements always unfortunate but well done Cam.

[Jan]

Managed to miss most of this - it started before I expected.
But well done Cam - the bits I did see he played well.
:GBflag:

[Jan62]

Pity he got the win that way, but a win is a win. Great for his ranking and a bit of confidence before entering R2 which should be very interesting against Pouille.

[roytennisfan]

See Cameron is down to play Nottingham if anyone fancies going, Likely to be the top seed

That's great news. I am going on the Friday, hopefully he'll still be around then.

[roytennisfan]

Cameron broken in opening game

[roytennisfan]

2-6 Cam needs to dig in

[traveller7]

slow start but potential to do better i reckon in next set

[roytennisfan]

Pouille bashing down big serves, constantly 130+ mph

[roytennisfan]

Too many doubles and ue' s but saves bp and holds 2-1

[roytennisfan]

Cam got away with last service game but another df and he's broken. Pity, after he had 15-40 in previous game till Pouille hammered down 4 big serves

[roytennisfan]

4-6 Cam had an mto and took a tablet off doc at 3-4

[RosieBear]

Gah. Tennis is cruel. Went very wrong very quickly after that misjudged leave :sad: C'mon Cam :cheer: (normally love French players but find LP too cocky by half).

[roytennisfan]

Cam breaks to love 2-0

[roytennisfan]

But Cam broken, back on serve 2-1

[RosieBear]

Nice while it lasted, back on serve. C'mon Cam!

Coming off court so they will resume tomorrow.

[supergran]

Great 3rd set. Good luck Cam for tomorrow.

[exislander]

He got better as the match went on so just needs to continue that tomorrow.

[Rosalind]

So pleased he got that 3rd set. Fingers crossed for all three tomorrow.

Really pleased that Cam took that set and hoping for more of the same tomorrow.
