Alex Michelsen defeats Cameron Norrie in Delray Beach Open quarter-finals

Cameron Norrie's quest for a second consecutive Delray Beach Open title ended with a quarter-final defeat to Alex Michelsen, who won in straight sets, 7-6, 7-5. The match was tightly contested, with the first set decided by a tie-break and Norrie failing to capitalize on three set points in the second. The victory marked redemption for Michelsen, who had lost to Norrie earlier in the month at the Dallas Open. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Joao Fonseca made headlines by becoming the youngest Brazilian man to reach the semi-finals of an ATP tournament in Buenos Aires. Fonseca's victory came after a thrilling match where he saved two match points against Mariano Navone. He will face Laslo Djere in the semifinals, while Fernando Verdasco announced his retirement from professional tennis, set for next week at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open.
