That win allowed Norrie to move to his first ATP 1000 Masters semifinal, which aside from his ATP triumph in Los Cabos, is the biggest result of his career. The success comes in a year that has been a spectacular one for Norrie, one that might see him finish inside the top 50. The Brit was humble after the match admitting that dismantling of Schwartzman had a bit of luck in it as 'everything went his way':
“Everything went my way today. Right from the beginning, I was timing the ball well. I thought I was in for a long match because the previous times we have played have been so long and so physical so I was ready for that. I hit a lot of lines in the first set and stayed tough in the second and served well when I needed to. I am so happy to be through, it is such a big win for me.”
It has been a great year for Cameron Norrie who notched close to 50 wins this season so far placing him 6th most winningest player in 2021. He himself admitted about having a very consistent year thanks to some of the tennis fundamentals he feels he is doing well:
“I have been pretty consistent this year. I think I am really doing the fundamentals well on serve and return and playing the big points better. I have been a little more aggressive and feel I am learning more as I go along and becoming more experienced. We are really happy.”
