British tennis star Cameron Norrie secured a hard-fought victory at the Masters 1000 event, defeating his younger opponent Cazaux in a three-set battle that lasted two hours.
The win marks Norrie’s first at a Masters 1000 event since May, when he triumphed on the clay courts in Rome.
The match was defined by a dramatic mid-game collapse by the Briton, who was dealt a humiliating 6-0 'bagel' defeat in the second set—the seventh of his professional career.
Despite the setback, Norrie did well to regroup in the decisive third set, once again demonstrating his resilience and guile.
He effectively outfoxed his opponent using his potent left-hand serve to regain a measure of control and momentum.
Both players struggled to make significant inroads on the other's serve as they fought through the hot and humid conditions on court.
Ultimately, the margin of victory was razor-thin, decided by a single double fault from Cazaux in the third point of the crucial tie-break.
Having received a bye in the first round, Norrie’s hard-earned second-round victory sets up a challenging third-round match against 19-year-old American Learner Tien, as he looks to build momentum in the final stages of the tennis season.
