Cameron Norrie reached the Los Cabos final one more and he'll get the chance to defend his trophy against Daniil Medvedev.
The final comes after a win over Felix Auger-Aliassime that saw Norrie break the curse of the Canadian who never lost to Norrie before. It was a tricky match and one that needed 3 sets to conclude with the victory of the Brit.
Speaking after the match, Norrie said:
“Especially winning last year, you want to come out and win the title, but [I’ve just] taken it one match at a time. It was a tough task at the beginning of the tournament and I got through a couple of matches. [Against] Felix today it was looking really tough, so I was really pleased with how I handled that today, especially after losing that second set.”
Expanding further on his struggles against Auger, Norrie added:
“Every time he just gets me and plays better than me, so I really wanted to win that one more than usual. I started off great and then Felix found his level in the second set, so I feel really good to get through that one, especially with the last game when he had a couple of chances to break me. I managed to hold on tight and tough it out."
On the final against Medvedev:
“It feels great to be in the final, and especially to set up a meeting with the No. 1 in the world in Daniil.”
