Cameron Norrie expressed disappointment over his errors in the loss to Sebastian Korda at the Queen's Club Championships, with a score of 6-4, 7-6(1).
As the 5th seed, World No. 13 Norrie reached the quarterfinals at Queen's with victories over Miomir Kecmanovic (6-4, 7-6) and Jordan Thompson (4-6, 6-3, 6-2).
In the third round, he faced Sebastian Korda, an American player who had his best week since reaching the quarterfinals at the 2023 Australian Open. In a closely contested match, Korda secured the win with a strong serve and capitalizing on Norrie's unforced errors.
“He served and returned really well today and made it difficult for me to find some rhythm. I think I did well to get myself in the match but pretty disappointed with the way I finished the match.”
"I fought really hard to get back into the match and then played a very loose start to the tiebreak and he capitalised on that,” said Norrie.
Local tennis player commented that Korda had a great performance, but he admitted that he didn't handle the match mentally in the best way.
"In that first set I had a lot of chances on his serve at the beginning of the match and I didn't capitalize,” he said
"I was returning great but a couple of times I missed a couple of second serve returns and missed a couple of rally balls that I wouldn't usually do,” he aadded.
"I needed to tidy up the errors at the end in the second. It's those small moments on the grass you have to ride them mentally or the chances can go quickly he did a great job of serving his way out of trouble in those moments."
Norrie is now preparing to play Wimbledon, being the top British hope in the main draw and being seeded 12th.
