Cameron Norrie and Holger Rune played a couple of times this year and once again it was the Brit that triumphed 7-5 6-4 6-1.
It was a rather straightforward win for Norrie who played his typical physical tennis with long rallies that Rune could not handle. The Danish player tried various things like attacking and shortening the points but Norrie had a response for everything. The opening set's first break happened on the serve of Ruud despite the Danish player having break points of his own.
At 5-4, Norrie had a chance of closing out the opening set with a serve but dropped it to give Rune a chance. He didn't take it as Norrie jumped out ahead, finishing it off 7-5. He had far more winners but also more errors, a couple too many in the end. The 2nd set featured excellent play by Rune, his best of the day but Norrie was still not to be denied.
He matched the level taking an early double break lead 4-1 giving one back. He would hold the other for the 6-4 finish. The final set featured Norrie who cruised easily against Rune who was out of it by now. A great win for Norrie as he keeps collecting points for Turin.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
