 This is a late match - 11 pm there - Im guessing it must be quite chilly out there?

 Great tenacity from Norrie to take that first set, hard graft. Keeps Popyrin on his BH and fustrates the big man. Cool conditions out there as you say, some fans jogging on the spot between sets.

Sadly I lost the stream and didn't see Cam close it out .. but Popyrin was not having an off day, he was playing well. It's just that Cam's level was even higher than its recent resurgent level

brilliant, well done Cam!

QF:  (Q) Cameron Norrie WR 90 defeated (5) Alexei Popyrin (AUS) WR 25 by 7-6(5) 6-4   

But probably the end of the line for him:

SF:  (Q) Cameron Norrie WR 90 vs (2) Novak Djokavic (SRB) WR 6 (CH = 1 in July 2011)

 I dont know, SC. I just dont know if it is probably

PS DjokO is having an ok week since getting rid of Andy!!

He does have to be admired for the way hes fought back and seems to be getting his game into a better place. To be fair to Djokovic, hes got a comfortable career record against Cam and , probably, clear favourite- but hes , famously, not been having a good run of it and you never know. That said, hes got a title in his sights and it is hard to see him not pushing through on that.

Win this title and youd have to say Djoko is a challenger for the French.

Which makes the whole Djoko and Andy Murray dynamic interesting - it started so well, they seem to be friends and respect each other, but they split and Djoko, seemingly, re gains form. Interesting to understand more about that story - perhaps Andy gave Djoko too much information when Djoko just needed quiet and to figure it out naturally
