- Djokovic beats British No 1 6-3, 6-4 to reach quarter-finals
- Norrie leaves his mark on world No 1 in second-set incident
Cameron Norrie left his mark on Novak Djokovic but saw his Italian Open run end in the fourth round. The world No 1 was simply too solid for Norrie in a 6-3, 6-4 victory that maintains his record of never having lost before the quarter-finals in Rome.
The main talking point came in the fourth game of the second set as Norrie sought to retrieve an early break. Djokovic turned his back on the play after presenting his opponent with an easy smash, only for Norrie, seemingly unintentionally, to drill the ball into the Serbian’s legs.
