RE: Week 45 - ATP 250 - Moselle Open - Metz, France (indoor hard)

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Cam taking the hard route again - lost the opening set 4-6, 5-2 ahead set two.

If he reaches this final, he will certainly have his eye in!

Come on Cam!

And he takes the second set, 6-2.

Game on

Cam receiving at 5-4 ahead. This would be a good one to break!

Well done Cam! First final since - this same event last year!

Not won a title in over 2 1/2 years, Feb 2023.

Good stuff.

Every match Cam played has gone to 3 sets.
The first round he won the first set, but every other round he has dropped the first set.
Likely to play Learner Tien in the final.

Cam lost to Bonzi in last years final, but it was coming off the back of a difficult season. Whether it be Tien or the Ukraine player, he will feel good about his chances

Final: (7) Cameron Norrie WR 27 vs Learner Tien (surprise, surprise!) (USA) WR 38 (CH = 36 in September)

Played three times this year all on hard and Tien is 2-1 up. Won in Shanghai a few weeks back. Probably goes in favourite to beat Cam. Just.

Great week for Cam. Hope he can win the title now.

So far this season, GB is equal 2nd in ATP Tour titles:

17 - Italy
13- GB, Spain and USA

Obviously all but one of ours is from doubles - Julian and Lloyd with 7, Henry 3, Luke 2, Jack D 1 from singles.

Nonetheless its decent and with just today and then Turin to come, theres a good shout we could end up 2nd overall.

Obviously, if that came from a 2nd singles title of the year that would be lovely. And with a stacked mens doubles entry in Turin, theres a chance we could add to the total there.

With Cam playing an American today, that second spot is on the line.

As an aside, GB is 4th in the Challenger tour titles rankings (23 titles) and we are top of the ITF mens tour rankings (108 titles)
