Working his way slowly through the French B team!

If it hadn't been Jacquet, it would've been another French LL, our old friend, Dan Added. wink

Jan 5-4*. Was 1-3 down but had 2 bp for a 5-3 lead.

A win tonight for Cam would go a long way to securing AO seeding. He would be up to 31 in the live rankings with only 3 players able to overtake him. With Rune definitely out he only needs to be 33.

There's also events at the start of 2026 to consider before seedings are confirmed.

H and H beat French H and H 6-3 6-4 last week, if that gives Luke and Sander some confidence going in.

Cam in another battle, set all and 3-4 down third set. Won the second on a tiebreak.

Getting his monies worth this week!

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Definitely a battle:

QF: (7) Cameron Norrie WR 27 defeated (LL) Kyrian Jacquet (FRA) WR 156 by 4-6 7-6(2) 6-4

Phew!

P.S. Jon, it's "money's worth"! wink

seagull · Tennis legend

Won the last 10 points of the match

Cam was a break up in the first set as well, so it should have been straight forward.

Cam has a 2-1 head to head over Sonego but has won the last two matches and the two on hardcourts; including Hong Kong at the start of the season and IW.

Tennis Abstract just favours Cam to come out on top.
