Early break up in the opener for Cam.

He leads *2-1

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Another break seals a highly impressive first set for Cam who takes it 6-3

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Cam down in the 2nd set at 3-4*. He has only faced 1 BP in the match but it is enough to trail in this set. Conversely, he has had BPs in every King service game in the 2nd set but has yet to convert one of those.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

One or two errors from Cam and a few moments of frustration on his part, but he stays strong and saves two SPs to hang in there in this 2nd set.

4-5*

Needs a break now though. Come on Cam. Hang tough.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Yet another deuce game on the King serve but he holds on to level the match at 1 set all.

This match is still there for the taking though. Come on Cam.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Several breaks in the decider. Cam has been a break down, a break up and now we are back on serve.

Cam at 4-3* and my livestream playing up big time. Sadly it is hardly watchable because of the technical problems.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

A hold a piece and Cam is one game away.

Cam at 5-4*

QF: (Q) Cam Norrie WR 423 defeated Evan King (USA) WR 417 by 6-3 4-6 6-4

Excellent last couple of games under pressure.

Well done, young Cameron.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Terrific stuff from Cam who is closing in on Liam for the GB Nº1 Lefty spot.

indiana · Tennis legend

Good stuff if certainly no surprise ( and that says much about how Cam is progressing ).

With just 8 counters he is now into the GB top 10, having become the leading 'orrie'.

If he does get one win, making the final, he will probably jump from the 400s to the 200s this week.

The middle line of that covers exactly what I'd just come on here to say wink

With all due respect to Ed, Dom and even Bouncy (hehe), Cam must be the best GB prospect ever to go down the US college route. It's got to the stage where if he's playing anyone ranked outside the top 200, I'm a lot more surprised if he loses than if he wins.

SF: Eric Quigley (USA - really can't get over the Yanks having a player with a nice normal name!) WR 443 (CH = 297 last August) vs (Q) Cam Norrie WR 423
