Cameron Norrie Advances to Semifinals at ATP Moselle Open
Cameron Norrie has secured his spot in the semifinals of the ATP Moselle Open, overcoming a challenging match against Zizou Bergs. The British tennis player, ranked 57th in the world, won the match 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-1, showcasing his trademark resilience and fight.
Norrie’s victory was not without its hurdles; he let slip two match points in the second-set tie-break but managed to reset and dominate the deciding set. In the third set, Norrie won 86% of the points behind his first serve, according to Infosys ATP Stats. This win marks his 25th tour-level semi-final and his first semi-final on hard courts since Auckland 2023.
Norrie will next face Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the semifinals. The head-to-head between the two players is tied at 1-1. Moutet advanced to the semifinals after top seed Andrey Rublev was forced to retire due to injury. The match is scheduled for Friday, with Norrie predicted to have a slight edge, according to various analyses.
Despite a season derailed by a forearm injury, Norrie is showing promising form at the indoor hard-court ATP 250 event in Metz. His performance against Bergs highlighted his ability to dictate play and move his opponent around the court effectively.
In other matches at the Moselle Open, Benjamin Bonzi continued his strong run by outclassing Quentin Halys 6-3, 7-6(1), and will face either Alex Michelsen or Buyunchaokete in the semifinals.
