"Played a very clean match" says Norrie after Delray Beach triumph

Cameron Norrie played a very clean match against Reilly Opelka winning 7-6(1) 7-6(4) to win his 3rd career title.

It was a clean match from Norrie because he needed a very clean effort. Opelka on hard courts is really tough to deal with despite the American lacking any bounce in his legs in this one. He spent well over 7 hours this week and after a title run in Dallas simply had not much left for this one. Norrie was patient and waited for his chance to win and snatched it.

On the match, Norrie said:

“I thought I played a very clean match. I didn’t face a break point so that was great. I was happy with the way I played and obviously with the result."

Touching upon the tiebreaks, Norrie said:

"The tie-breaks I played extremely aggressively, the second one especially, I managed to put a couple of balls away and I was reading the play great. [I'm] super happy to get the win and beat a guy like Reilly, who is confident and playing well and won [the Dallas title] last week.”

Both of the will make their way to Acapulco for the event with both receiving a very tough draw. Opelka drew Nadal in round 1 while Norrie was supposed to play Alcaraz before the Spaniard withdrew.
