Cameron Norrie

[Jane]

Cam leads 5-2

[Jane]

Cam takes the first set 6-2 - well done:thumbup:

[Jane]

3-3 in second set

[Sallydaisy]

FAA holds for 4-3. Looks to be playing better as the set goes on.

C'mon Cam!!!
:GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

FAA has a break point for 5-3

[Sallydaisy]

Saved by Cam, he now has Ad.

Back to deuce. Key game this methinks.

[Jane]

4-4

[Sallydaisy]

4-4, good hold for Cam, must be a bit demoralising for FAA.

[Sallydaisy]

5-5. Could be heading for a tie-break unless Norrie can break serve now.

[Jane]

5-5. Am hoping Cam can finish the match in this set, as Emma is due to start soon and I have Jamie and Bruno on the laptop and Cam on the tv.

[Hawkeye]

Tie break it is!

[Sallydaisy]

Cam 5-1 up at the change of ends with a serve to come.

[Sallydaisy]

*5-2 as FAA gets a break back ... and has 2 serves to come.
5-3*
6-3* Match point Cameron Norrie!

[Hawkeye]

Cam blows two match points on his own serve at 6-3...

[Sallydaisy]

Well well well ... FAA breaks back twice to deny Cam serving it out.

FAA *5-6
*6-6

[Sallydaisy]

FAA takes the 2nd set 7'6(6) - into a decider we go.
Norrie must win this to keep his TourFinal hopes alive.

[Hawkeye]

5 points in a row from FA-A and the set is gone.

[Jane]

Aaargh - one set all

[Jan]

Eek! Come on Cam!

[exislander]

Will watch this later - now watching Emma.

[Sallydaisy]

:phew:
Tough hold for Cameron with at least 3 break point chances for FAA.
But the Brit took it on his 2nd Ad chance.

[Jane]

Got Emma and Jamie/Bruno on laptop and Cam on tv - too much for the old brain:rolling:

[Hawkeye]

FA-A breaks, *3-2.

[Sallydaisy]

Ouch, FAA really has upped his game. Cam now serving but FAA has Ad.
Saved ... deuce.

[Sallydaisy]

this is turning into a deuce fest!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cam has had 3 game points, all saved by FAA.
Ad Cam again ...

[Sallydaisy]

Wow, that was one heck of a hold from Cameron Norrie. FAA still a break ahead though in the deciding set.

[Jan]

:nailbiter:

[Hawkeye]

FA-A to serve for it at 5-4.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam holds for 4-5 but it's FAA who will serve for the match after the change of ends.

[Sallydaisy]

GSM Felix Auger-Aliassime 2'6, 7'6, 6'4.
He did well to come back from a set down but it must be said Norrie faltered in the 2nd set tie-break when he had chances to take the match.

[Jane]

:crying: Really bad luck, Cam.

[JAMES4578]

Pity for Cameron, he really should have closed it out in 2nd set breaker though. Felix certainly raised his game in the 3rd mind you.

[Jan]

One that got away, sadly.

[RosieBear]

Poor Cam. Players do get skitty when the year end final looms. What a shame :sad:

[cazza99]

There is an 4 page article about Cam in today's Times magazine.

[Jane]

Players on court - Cam leads 2-1.

[Jane]

Cam takes the first set 6-2 :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Cameron Norrie takes the first set 6'2!
From what I've just watched Delbonis isn't playing very well but ... go Cam!

[Sallydaisy]

Cam serving for the match at *5-1 in the 2nd set.

[Sallydaisy]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Good win for Cameron Norrie!
6'2, 6'1 and into R2 in Paris.

[Jane]

Cam wins 6-2, 6-1...well done.:GBflag: :cheer: :cheer:

[cazza99]

Well done Cam. 100th win on the tour. :clap:

[Jane]

Players on court. Best of luck, Cam :thumbup: :thumbup:

First set to Cam - 6-3 :thumbup:

[Jane]

3-3....Opelka to serve

[Jane]

Cam breaks....4-3

[Jane]

Cam wins....6-3, 6-4....Well done!! :cheer: :cheer: :GBflag:

[Hawkeye]

So, what's the sums for Cam to make the WTF now? Does he need to make the final? Is Cam entered into Stockholm?

[jaysee]

https://live-tennis.eu/en/atp-race FAA out but Ruud, Hurkacz and Sinner all still going in Paris - Cam needs to overtake two of them.

[Hawkeye]

So we're cheering on Alcaraz then...

[JAMES4578]

Could have been more tricky,well done Cameron! Hopefully can make WTF but impressive season regardless.

[Hawkeye]

So we're cheering on Alcaraz then...Alcaraz wins!

[jaysee]

Alcaraz beats Sinner, so Cam will overtake Sinner if he wins his next match!

[Hawkeye]

The site you linked to (thanks!) has Sinner eliminated from the race in any case, so he can concentrate on the Next Gen finals.

[cazza99]

Wouldn't Sinner rather be a reserve the the Tour finals in his home country rather than participate in Next Gen finals?

[Hawkeye]

I wouldn't have thought so, but who knows?

[jaysee]

Ruud, Hurkacz, Sinner and Cam all listed for Stockholm here: https://www.dartsrankings.com/tennis/stockholm

[Sallydaisy]

Paris Masters R16: [10] Cameron Norrie, WR13=CH v Taylor Fritz, WR26 (CH24 in 2020)

This is a must win match for Norrie if he wants to keep his ATP Tour Final hopes alive.

The 2 have met 7 times before with a win each in 2021 and 2019 and 2-1 to Norrie in 2020 giving him the slight 'edge' with a 4-3 Win/Loss over Fritz. The 24yr old American has produced some very good tennis this year and given several top players a run for their money. However, 26yr old Norrie has proved to everyone that he has the stamina and game to outlast most other players and he'll be fighting for that Turin place - but possibly be a little nervous because of that!

https://www.atptour.com/en/players/atp-head-2-head/cameron-norrie-vs-taylor-fritz/N771/FB98

[Jane]

Players arrive on court. Best of luck, Cam.:thumbup: :thumbup:

[Hawkeye]

Fritz about to serve for the first set at *5-3.

[Sallydaisy]

First set to Taylor Fritz 6'3.

[Jane]

Fritz takes the set 6-3 :sad:

[Hawkeye]

Cam had 2 set points at 5-4* but couldn't take them. Now 6-5*.

[Hawkeye]

Second set tie break.

[Jane]

:crying: :crying: Cam lost in the tb 7-3

[Hawkeye]

An awful tie break from Cam, and he's out. 6-3 7-6(3).

[jaysee]

:crying:

[JAMES4578]

Certainly disappointing, Cameron had chance to turn it around but was unable to capitalise and liiitle went right in the TB. Fritz though win a few god wins.

[cazza99]

Accordig to the Daily Fail, Cameron has tested positive for Covid - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-10322863/Andy-Murray-says-Emma-Raducanu-deserves-win-Sports-Personality-Year-award.html


While the spread of Covid was cited as the reason, Sportsmail understands that one specific factor involved was Cam Norrie joining the many athletes in the UK in testing positive for the virus.

The British No 1 was not said to be suffering from symptoms. His representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

[Jane]

Cameron plays S. Korda in Melbourne tomorrow He is third on Kia Arena after a ladies singles and a men's singles, so probably not on court before 5.00am(UK) and possibly much later. I wish him all the best of luck. :thumbup: :thumbup::GBflag:

(this should probably be on the main tournament thread, but it is closed at the moment)

It's fine here Jane.
I'll update and open the main thread later today!
:no worries:

[Sallydaisy]

Difficult to call this match isn't it?

Cam hasn't yet found his form, or a win, and seems to still be struggling to shake off the after-effects of Covid which he had in the off-season - probably not helped by the disruption to his training and fitness regimes. Seb Korda is currently holed up in a hotel room after testing positive and is yet to play - although he's posted photos of his practice sessions hitting a tennis ball against the bedroom wall.

[exislander]

Watched just the last few games of this. Korda just too good for Cam 6-3 6-0 6-4

[Hawkeye]

I was so sure that this was going to happen I had money on it. Cam's awful start to the season shows no sign of ending.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam's awful start to the season shows no sign of ending.
:sad:
Such a shame for him after the successes of last year. He's a load of points to defend.
Perhaps best to keep training but skip playing for a few weeks and get past the Covid stuff.
I think it affected Dan's performances also back end of last year after he'd had it.

Edit - Cam is next due to play in Rotterdam ATP500 w/c 7th February.
So, that's 3 weeks to properly recuperate and train to go again!

[Genbrit]

I watched the beginning set and just couldn't watch any more. Nothing was going right for him. Hopefully Cam can fully recover before his next match.

[Jane]

Cam playing Khachanov in Rotterdam. Players arrive on court. Best of luck, Cam :thumbup: :thumbup:

[patlowe]

Such a shame Cam has both his matches so far without the crowd.

[Jane]

First set to Cam...6-4:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Cam was 1-4 but has held and broken back.
Serving 3-4, 2nd set

[Jane]

tb time - Come on Cam:thumbup:

[Jane]

Cam wins the match 6-4, 7-6 (7-5 tb).... well done!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Excellent win, nearly lost that tie-break but toughed it out.

Auger-Aliassime takes the first set 7-5 :sad:

Cam had a break but lost it again. Now 4-5

[Jane]

5-5

[Jane]

6-6....tb time!!

[Jane]

F. A-A wins 7-5, 7-6 (7-4) :crying: Could have gone either way

[Sallydaisy]

Very close fought match with good tennis from both.
Shame for Cam, FAA now leads their H2H by 5-0
:sad:

[RosieBear]

Getting a bit sick of the sight of the newly brutal Felix, who now epitomises Fognini's comments about the young players. Shame, but Cam did himself justice with a very solid performance unlike Dan in Oz and Andy last night - makes it that bit easier to take. Hopefully Doha is a happy hunting ground and no Felix rematches.

[JAMES4578]

Good effort from Cameron but ultimately did not take the important points, pity he could not capitalise on his lead in the 2nd.

[exislander]

In Acapulco Cameron defeated John Isner 6-7(2) 6-3 6-4. In the quarter final he will play (very) Lucky Loser Peter Gojowczyk who had the walkover v Zverev.

[anor]

Cam sails into semis with 6-1 6-0 win over by Gojowczyk.

[suttontennis]

[suttontennis]

A 'ruud' awakening for Cam as he loses 3&4

[exislander]

Obviously hampered by the calf problem. However, he did break Ruud the first time serving for the match.

[JAMES4578]

Pity Cameron was hindered with the calf issue, thoughg Rudd did play well and has given Norrie trouble in the past.

[Sallydaisy]

Congratulations to Cameron Norrie who will make it into the top #10 when the ATP rankings are released on Monday 4th April, albeit because Alcaraz beat Hurkacz in their SF!!! Cam is the 4th British player in the Open era to reach the top 10 after Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski and Andy Murray.

[JAMES4578]

Great for Cameron!

Cam Norrie has withdrawn from Atlanta, w/c 25th July.
Still entered for Los Cabos w/c 1st August.

[exislander]

After a shaky start Cam beat Tseng 6-3 6-0, plays Albot in qf.

[Sallydaisy]

Cameron won his QF and next plays FAA in the Semi.
FAA leads their H2H by 4-0 so hopefully Cam can notch up a win this week.

Not sure it I’m happy or not … I want whoever is best for Andy and think that might have been Rune :shrug:

[Sallydaisy]

Cam just took 19mins, and a bagel,to notch up the first set against Paire.
:breadstick:
Play stopped because someone in the stands has taken ill.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam into R2.
Cameron Norrie beats France's Benoit Paire 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 6-0
Weird scoreline.

[exislander]

At times Paire seemed to be doing just enough to not get fined for not trying - comms were checking flights to France.......

[JAMES4578]

Only tested in the 2nd but Cameron seemed in good form, Paire's heart not really in it though!

[harriet]

another great result, Cam now in the last 8. beat Casper (?) Rune in straight sets

[harriet]

i'm getting confused with Holger Rune and Caspar Rudd, and probably with 8 & 16!

[JAMES4578]

Anyway sadly Cameron did not reach the last 8 going down in straights to Rublev. Andrey was tough but a bit of a flat performance from Norrie. However hopefully can have a strong end to the season.

[exislander]

Cameron is into the quarter final in Seoul. He is aiming for a top 8 finish to the season. He will play Jenson Brooksby next.

[Hawkeye]

Unfortunately Cam was broken and Alvaraz took the title.

storm in a tea cup? Cam's not known as a wind-up merchant, in fact I'd say he's fairly passive compared to some. was Novak upset about being hit and that Cam didn't offer sincere apologies in writing and a bunch of flowers ?

[JAMES4578]

Novak not in a great mood today either, lost to Rune 6-2,4-6,6-2. pity Cameron could not push him further mind you.
