It was a good few days, and really set the tone for my practice here.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He also benefitted from having a session on Monday with Carlos Alcaraz, a player he actually beat earlier in the season to win the Rio de Janeiro title: \u2018 I really enjoy playing points with him, because you can&#8217;t really leave the ball short or kind of take anything off the ball, because he&#8217;s going to be the one dictating play, so that helped.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/21\/74848205-12458597-image-a-57_1693341447529.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Norrie beat Russia&#8217;s\u00a0Alexander Shevchenko in the opening round of the US Open on Tuesday<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this event Norrie had declared that he fancied conditions at Flushing Meadows, which are generally reckoned to be slightly slower than recent editions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It certainly looked that way as he got past the world number 83 with a minimum of fuss, and he will now play little known Taiwanese qualifier Yu Hsiou Hsu, world number 247.<\/p>\n<p>It shows how far Norrie has come that his recent slump was unexpected. Even after a relatively barren summer he has still won 33 matches to date in 2023 and remains at a ranking of sixteen.<\/p>\n<p>He pounded his forehand impressively last night, and wrongfooted even the nimble Russian with the shovelled backhand that opponents find often difficult to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/tennis\/article-12458597\/Cameron-Norrie-joins-fellow-Brit-Katie-Boulter-second-round-Open-battling-going-set-against-Russias-Alexander-Shevchenko.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cameron Norrie\u00a0joins fellow Brit Katie Boulter in second round of the US Open after battling back from going a set down against Russia&#8217;s Alexander Shevchenko Cameron Norrie has qualified for the second round of the US Open The 28-year-old joins fellow Brit&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289148,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
