Cameron Norrie won his maiden ATP Masters title at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and Andy Murray was surprised by it.
Not many people expected the ATP Indian Wells final to be played between Cameron Norrie and Nikoloz Basilashvili. With several of the top 10 in attendance fans and analysts alike expected a different final but the beauty of tennis once again proved that matches need to be won and those two won their matches en route to the final.
Ultiamtely it was Norrie who was the last standing and fellow Brit Andy Murray was surprised by it:
"I'd be lying if I said that I called that to be honest. However, I
have spent a decent amount of time around him and practised with him
quite a lot and he works extremely hard."
Murray that praised Norrie explaining that the achievement is well deserved having observed him work hard for it:

"I think
he's a great example for not just British players but all tennis players
to look at and go, if you put the effort in day in, day out and
properly dedicate yourself to the sport, have an attitude like he does,
it can take you a long, long way."
Murray further added:
"Every week he's winning matches, he's played six finals, and this
year he's looking like he's going to win more matches on the tour than
he had in every season that he'd had beforehand combined So
that shows you how much of an improvement he's made. I knew he was good,
but to be top 20 in the world and pushing for a spot in the tour finals
is an incredible effort."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- 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.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - 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 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 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
