Cameron Norrie will face Rafael Nadal in the Acapulco final and speaking about the semifinal against Tsitsipas Norrie was quite confident.
In humid Acapulco, a red-hot Cameron Norrie cooled the streaking Stefanos Tsitsipas in a battle of two of the in-form players on the ATP Tour. Great Britain's Norrie, champion a week ago in Delray Beach, extended his win streak to eight straight matches with an efficient 6-4, 6-4 semi-final win over the World No. 4. Tsitsipas. Speaking after the match, Norrie said:
"In general, [I hit] my forehand very loopy, my backhand very flat," Norrie said of his tactics and variety in the one-hour, 18-minute match. "I was able to dictate play to his backhand and defend my forehand quite well. I definitely felt that better in the second set, and I think my game is pretty good in these conditions."
Norrie further said:
"[My serve] really got me into the match and I was able to relax and was able to execute on the big points," Norrie said, admitting to some early nerves on the stadium court.
