Cameron Norrie Upsets Alex de Minaur at Montreal Masters
British No. 2 Cameron Norrie defeated third‑seeded Australian Alex de Minaur 5‑7, 7‑6(5), 6‑1 in the third round of the National Bank Open in Montreal. Norrie saved a match point after de Minaur had a 5‑2 lead and a match point on his serve in the second set, hampered by double faults. The win eliminated the tournament’s highest remaining seed and advanced Norrie to the round of 16, where he will face 18th‑seed Arthur Fils. The upset came as the draw was already depleted, with top seeds Alexander Zverev, Felix Auger‑Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev having withdrawn. Norrie praised his resilience, saying the match boosted his confidence ahead of the next round.
