Britain’s Cameron Norrie has been involved in an argument during the Moselle Open. The 29-year-old is taking part in the ATP 250 event where he registered an impressive win against Spain’s Roberto Carballes Baena with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.
During the match, Norrie was involved in an argument with the Spaniard and at one time, he was heard saying: “Your complaining about me saying vamos a couple of times.” After the match, Norrie expressed satisfaction with his performance. "I was happy with the way I turned it around, and it's nice to get a win," he said.
Norrie will now face Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the next round on Wednesday. The world number 10 booked was given a bye as he booked his place in the next round without playing any game. It will be the fourth meeting between the two. In the previous three meetings, Norrie has a slight edge as she won on two occasions and suffered a solitary defeat.
Their first-ever meeting was in the Miami Open in 2021 where Norrie came out on top in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 7-5. The Britain’s tennis star once again emerged victorious in the Indian Wells in 2021 in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-4. Dimitrov’s only win over Norrie came in the Cinch Championship in 2022 where he came out on top with a score of 6-7, 6-1, 6-4. The Johannesburg-born star is going through a mixed campaign as he has only managed to win 19 times and suffered 18 defeats in the process. His best performance this year came in Rio Open in February. The current world number 57 went on to play in the semifinal of the ATP 500 event in Rio de Janeiro where he lost to Argentina’s Mariano Navone in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-2.
