From 15-40*, with the help of a few pulverising forehands, Cam breaks again and will serve for the title.

*5-4

Cam's a ! biggrin

Final: Cam Norrie WR 277 defeated (1) Jordan Thompson (AUS) WR 79 by 6-4 0-6 6-4

Quite a tussle in the decider! All credit to Cam for battling back & toughing it out.

Jan · Hall of fame

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! biggrin

steven · Tennis legend

Huge congrats to Cam, what a recovery in that final set!

the addict · Tennis legend

I turned on the live stream at 1-5 0-30 - and it was one way traffic from then on. Fabulous result, well done Cam

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

So Cam beats Jordan Thompson. Thompson beat Andy recently. Does that make Cam better than Andy wink

Seriously though, what a terrific effort to win his first Challenger title particularly to come from a break down (almost 2 break) in the 3rd. Well done Cam.

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

What a comeback from losing what 9 games in a row and 10 out of 11.

hoots · Intermediate Club Player

What a long last point THAT was. Superb win for Cam.Apparently lost his serve 5 times in sets two and but toughed it out

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Live Rankings has Cam into the top 200 at WR 199.

Peak WTA scoreline.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

That must be the biggest cheque Cam has ever won. It was almost 2 metres across smile

paulisi · Tennis legend

Hopefully the first of many titles, but not sure how he managed to win that. Set 2 and half of set 3 were awful.
Did really well to compose himself and his serve turned up towards the end of the match.

Yes, what a point that was. I was keeping like "pull the trigger, Cam" especially the way he had been hitting some forehands but he just kept working away till he got an absolutely solid chance and took it. Yay !!!!

Pity, about Bob, I am sure he has really enjoyed watching the Brits over the years, but he cannot be allowed to continue

LOL. I turned back on midway through the 3rd set, so that jinx is broken, fortunately.
