It is beginning to look like we are destined to see a lot of Alcaraz v Norrie!

Elegant Point · Satellite level

One set all Norrie vs ZM - Norrie currently up 3-2 but it could go either way..

SF: (2) Cameron Norrie WR 13 defeated Bernabé Zapata (ESP) WR 63 by 6-2 3-6 7-6(3)

That was a battle! Cam kept going up a break, but couldn't quite shake off the Spaniard for long!

Are you kidding? Carlos is playing unbelievably despite the injury. This could still go either way

Cam finally gets the better of the young Spanish ace!

Final: (2) Cameron Norrie WR 13 defeated (1) Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) WR 2 by 5-7 6-4 7-5 biggrin

Cam had break points in the ninth game of the third set, but was unable to convert any of them (obviously!). He'd also kept breaking Alcaraz's service earlier in the set, but couldn't at first hang on to his own.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

I enjoyed that. Love these SA matches. Well done Cam. Happy for you. But Carlos is amazing and a pleasure to watch.
