- 6-3, 6-4 victory is Briton’s 50th ATP win this year
- Next opponent is Taylor Fritz, who beat Andrey Rublev 7-5, 7-6
Cameron Norrie kept himself in contention to win a spot at the ATP Finals as he coolly navigated a second round match at the Rolex Paris Masters, beating Reilly Opelka of the US 6-3, 6-4.
Norrie’s victory takes him into the last 16 in Paris and brings him another milestone in what has been a monumental season for the Indian Wells champion, who rose to a new career high of 13th this week. He has now won 50 ATP matches this year, a feat only achieved by two other British players, Andy Murray and Tim Henman, this century. Before this year, he had 51 wins in his entire career.
