Norrie Losses To Canadian Teenager At Paribas Open
When world Number 40 Cameron Norrie was up against an 18 year old teenager at the PNB paribas open, a lot of people would have given the win to Norrie who is also the current british number two.
But Cameron Norrie lost in straight sets in the first round to Canada’s 18-year-old world number 58 Felix Auger-Aliassime in Indian Wells.
In the first meeting between the pair, the Canadian teenager took the first set 6-3 in 33 minutes.
Auger-Aliassime, who reached his first ATP final at last month’s Rio Open, raced through the second 6-2 to wrap up the match in 62 minutes.
He now faces Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was victorious in Marseille last month.
British number one Kyle Edmund, who received a bye, awaits the winner of the match between Nicolas Jarry of Chile and American Frances Tiafoe.
Qualifier Dan Evans, who missed out on his first ATP Tour title when he lost the Delray Beach open against Moldova’s Radu Albot last month, faces three-time Grand Slam winner Stan Wawrinka next.
Felix is an all-round tennis player. He has a very effective serve, a decent volley and excellent athleticism. His ground strokes are very precise as he can make his opponent run on court and finish up at the net. His favorite surface is hard. His favorite shot is his forehand and tournament is ATP Masters 1000 Canada
