Norrie knocked out by Berrettini in Vienna
skysports -

Cameron Norrie's hopes of a first appearance in an ATP Tour quarter-final since this year's Wimbledon were dashed by Matteo Berrettini at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna.

British player Norrie lost 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (11-9) 6-4 to Italy's former Wimbledon finalist Berrettini in the last 16 having upset world No 15 Andrey Rublev in the previous round.

Norrie had four chances to lead 5-1 in the opening set before eventually losing in a tie-break, while he then saved a match point in the second-set tie-break to force a decider before being beaten in three hours and 16 minutes/.

Berrettini will now meet Alex de Minaur in the last eight, with the Australian beating home wild card Filip Misolic 6-4 6-4 in Austria.

World No 2 Jannik Sinner, the top seed, plays fellow Italian Flavio Cobolli later on Thursday and will face Alexander Bublik or Francisco Cerundolo if he wins.

Britain's Jack Draper, currently sidelined with an arm injury, won the Erste Bank Open in 2024, beating Karen Khachanov for his first ATP 500 title.
