![]() 2 stunned everybody with the quality of his performance in round one. We already know that Norrie has the mental capacity to pull this off, it’s just a case of managing his game in the best way. The Brit will need to be patient and minimise his unforced error total as the Russian could offer him a tonne of free points. Norrie certainly has his work cut out, but if there is any surface that he would be successful against of player of Khachanov’s calibre, it’s clay. ![]() 22 does have some clay court pedigree though, in 2019 he made the Roland Garros quarter-finals – his first and only Grand Slam last eight appearance to date – where he lost to the eventual finalist, Dominic Thiem. The 24-year-old has a tendency to force his offence too much at times and can get frustrated when things don’t go his way. Khachanov has a huge serve and forehand, and often uses this combination to win the majority of his points. He will be full of confidence after his solid opening round win over the higher-ranked Matthew Ebden, and it will be interesting how he plays here.Norrie will face Karen Khachanov for the second time this season as the pair will battle it out for a spot in the last sixteen.Īlthough he may not be in the best of form recently, the Russian still possesses one of the most explosive games on the tour – which could set alight at any time. If Ymer serves well he can make it somewhat interesting, but he enters this match as a massive underdog. However, lack of focus and poor shot selection is usually his downfall, and this could be a recipe for disaster against Cameron Norrie who is very consistent and mentally strong. The young Swede has a big game despite his small stature, and is one of the quickest players on Tour. Once ranked inside the top 100, he has had some poor results over the past few seasons and finds himself languishing on the Challenger Tour most of the time. He is the big favorite here against Elias Ymer, and should have no trouble here as he has the advantage in most of the key areas, including experience.Įlias Ymer is unseeded here at the Los Cabos Open, and is ranked #169 on the Tour. Norrie is an ultra-consistent baseline player without any real weapons, but his “scrappy” style of play frustrates opponents at times, and his serve has improved a lot in recent times. He will be hoping that this will be the scene of his breakthrough title, and the draw has opened up nicely for him here. The hard-working Brit has been having an outstanding season so far in 2021, reaching three Finals thus far, however failing to win any. Can he pull of the massive upset and reach his first ATP Quarter-Final of the year?Ĭameron Norrie is ranked #30 in the ATP world rankings and is seeded first at an ATP event for the first time in his career. Elias Ymer is a promising young player who has had an inconsistent start to his NBA career. He is the top seed here at the Los Cabos Open and is one of the main contenders for the title here. The match is scheduled to be played on Wednesday July 21st, 2021 at 8:00pm EST.Ĭameron Norrie has quietly been having a fantastic season, which is allowed him to break into the top 30 for the first time.
