Dimitrov Delivers, Doubles To Decide Tie

Spoiler:

Norrie gave Great Britain the advantage after the first match
Grigor Dimitrov has delivered in a big way for his country in the early moments of Saturday morning, forcing a deciding doubles match to determine the winner between his Team Bulgaria and Team Great Britain on the first day of the inaugural ATP Cup.

Dimitrov beat Daniel Evans 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 in an entertaining all-court affair that ended at 12:10am local time in Sydney. Bulgaria's No. 1 singles player and captain could now elect to return to Ken Rosewall Arena for the doubles match.

The eight-time ATP Tour titlist entered his match with Evans with a 2-1 FedEx ATP Head2Head series lead against the Brit, whom he defeated in straight sets in Chengdu last September. But in the early going, the 2017 Nitto ATP Finals champion struggled to find a rhythm against the slicing and dicing off Evans' racquet.

However, Dimitrov never dipped his head in his first match of the season, blasting away on the backhand side, creating a highlight reel of one-handed lasers. And after two hours and 16 minutes, Dimitrov earned the victory when Evans mishit a volley.
In the tie's No. 2 singles match, Cameron Norrie beat Dimitar Kuzmanov 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 to give Team Great Britain a 1-0 lead.

Norrie first played Kuzmanov at a Futures event in 2014, losing just two games. The lefty didn't have it anywhere near as easy Friday evening in Sydney, but he got the job done nonetheless.

"It was a tough match. It's the first match of the year. So, yeah, I came out playing great. It was a real physical first set, and then literally one little lapse in concentration, and then I was down a break and he actually played solid. I didn't really have any chances in the second," Norrie said. "Obviously there were a couple doubts in the second, but no, I was actually real happy with the way I competed and the way I carried myself."

The difference in the match was Norrie's success with his swinging lefty serve, helping him win 83 per cent of his first-serve points en route to a two-hour victory. He broke serve six times, including on four occasions in the third set.

Interestingly Norrie won his lowest rate of first-serve points in the final set (69%), but he improved his return pressure, winning 74 per cent of his return points in the decider.

The 24-year-old Norrie enjoyed the best season of his young career in 2019, breaking into the Top 50 of the FedEx ATP Rankings in March before reaching a career-high No. 41 in May. And with his triumph against Kuzmanov, the Brit appears poised for a fast start once again.

After 58 Break Points, Norrie Saves 2 M.P. To Stun Schwartzman

Spoiler:

Brit recovers from two sets down

In a thrilling encounter on Court 5, Cameron Norrie rallied from two sets down for only the second time in his career, saving two match points, to eliminate ninth seed Diego Schwartzman on Monday at the US Open.

The 25-year-old dropped serve five times in the opening two sets, before charging back to stun Schwartzman 3-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 7-5 in three hours and 58 minutes. Norrie trailed 3-5 in the decider and saved a match point in consecutive games with depth and power on his forehand side to reach 5-5. After a love service hold, the World No. 76 in the FedEx ATP Rankings broke serve for the 11th time at 6-5 to earn his second victory in three ATP Head2Head matches against Schwartzman.

Despite most players commenting that court speeds were quicker than usual during last week’s Western & Southern Open, Schwartzman and Norrie earned a combined 58 break points throughout their first-round encounter. Norrie went 11 for 31 on break points and saved 19 of the 27 break points he faced.

Norrie will face Federico Coria for a place in the third round. Coria recovered from two sets down to lead Jason Jung 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 2-0, when Jung was forced to retire from the match.

Did You Know?
Norrie is only the second player outside the Top 20 in the FedEx ATP Rankings to beat two-time quarter-finalist Schwartzman at the US Open. The only other player to achieve the feat was 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro in 2016.

Best Slam Upsets Of 2020

4. Cameron Norrie d. Diego Schwartzman, US Open, R1, 1 September 2020

Spoiler:

Like all tennis coaches, Juan Ignacio Chela will never tell the press about the game plans he devises for his charge, Diego Schwartzman. But rest assured that prior to Diego’s first-round match against Cameron Norrie, Chela didn’t draw up a game plan for the tournament’s ninth seed that included winning only 53% of his first-serve points, giving up 31 break points and hitting 50 more unforced errors (81) than winners (31).

Unfortunately for Schwartzman, he did all those things, and yet, in a testament to his fortitude, still managed to stay on court for a minute shy of four hours before losing what was one of the strangest and most intriguing upsets of the year.

Norrie, ranked No. 76 at the time, has an extensive passport collection thanks to his international upbringing: He was born in South Africa to a Scottish father and Welsh mother, but played for New Zealand until switching to Great Britain at age 16.

The men split their two prior encounters, with both going the distance, but it looked like a mismatch early on as the Argentine, who is nicknamed “El Pelque” (shorty), took the first two sets 6-3, 6-4.

“I was making way too many errors,” Norrie would comment after the match. “He'd done almost nothing to be two sets up."

Norrie started playing more aggressively in the third set, approaching the net with regularity and generating break points as fast as lottery machines spit out losing numbers, though he converted just 11 of his 31 chances. In fact, fans who hate Big Man tennis with dominating servers were in heaven, as the players combined for a tournament record 58 break points.

Schwartzman was rightfully in a foul mood late in the match and appeared to be struggling physically in the fifth set. Nevertheless, he dug deep, as he always does, and streaked out to a 5-3 lead in the decider, only to have the Brit save one match point and then another at 5-4. A clearly hobbled Schwartzman saved two match points of his own, but lost the last four games, giving Norrie an improbable 3-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 7-5 win he’ll never forget.

“The tennis and the level wasn't that great but I had a good attitude throughout and I was happy with that," Norrie said after the match. "I'm lucky to get through that... it was a tough one…Fifty-eight [break points] is a lot.”

Norrie beat another Argentine, Federico Coria, in the next round and then was ushered out of New York by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the third round. It was his best result at a major, and it’ll probably be the only match he’ll ever play with 58 break points.
