Cam Norrie Reaches US Open Third Round After Injury, Tough Win

Cam Norrie advanced to the third round of the 2025 US Open after a hard-fought victory over Francisco Comesana, prevailing in four sets with scores of 7-6(5), 6-3, 6-7(0), 7-6(4). This win followed his progression to the second round when Sebastian Korda retired due to injury while trailing Norrie 7-5, 6-4. Norrie's match against Comesana was closely contested, with multiple service breaks and a crucial tie-break in the fourth set where Norrie saved three set points before clinching victory. The British No.2 is set to face Novak Djokovic in the third round, marking their second Grand Slam meeting this year, though Djokovic holds a 6-0 record over Norrie. Despite Norrie's previous difficulties against Djokovic, the Serbian has not been at his best during this tournament, potentially giving Norrie an opening. Norrie expressed sympathy for Korda, recognizing the American's recent injury struggles and strong talent.
