Cameron Norrie caused an upset in the quarterfinals of the Diriyah Tennis Cup in Saudi Arabia. The Briton clearly prevailed against the top seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas 6: 4 and 6: 4 and thus qualified for the semi-finals of the controversial exhibition tournament.
In this, Norrie meets Taylor Fritz on Friday. The American beat Hubert Hurkacz 7:6 (3) and 7:5 in the last game of the day. The reigning Indian Wells winner only converted the match point a few minutes after midnight.
Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev and Stan Wawrinka will meet in the first semi-final. Medvedev defeated Alexander Zverev 6-0 and 6-4 in the quarter-finals , Wawrinka defeated Andrey Rublev in three tight sets.
