Tempted to call this a 'changing of the guard' but that would be hugely unfair on the likes of Evo, Kyle and most notably Cam.

But Jack clearly has a huge future in front of him.

Just switched on to Cams match 1-1 and Rublev already kicking off hmm Go Cam!!!

L16: (10) Cameron Norrie WR 12 defeated (6) Andrey Rublev (***) WR 7 by 2 & 4

He first served for it at 5-2.

That was mighty impressive

Great!! Have been listening to radio commentary.
Off to bed now. Hoping Jack and Emma can put good performances in later.

Excellent performance by Cam . One of the best matches Ive seen him play . Even though he missed a match point serving at 5-2 he really did nothing wrong and Rublev just played well on those few points .

He then really held his nerve at 5-4 when the nerves could have caused problems .

well done, Cam, excellent!

brittak · Satellite level

This was really very good from Cam. Beating Rublev in such a manner is no easy feat so a very well done. Must admit a few years ago, I thought Cam would be top 50 at best but he continues to impress. He works so hard in every match and thoroughly deserves the success he is having. I am delighted to have been proved wrong and hope he can continue to go far.
Onwards and upwards - the draw here is opening up too with Tiafoe or Tibalo next.

Cam seems to quite like Indian Wells

Cams ambition to make top 5 by the end of the year may very well come through with more performances like that. Hes so full of confidence right now, hes the only Brit I feel relaxed when watching atm lol

And he would be 6th already if Wimbledon points were included in his haul.

He likes it in most places. 21-3 on the year, what he is doing is so underrated.

It's Tiafoe in the QF and then possibly Medvedev in the SF, so not opening up that much. Cam though yes certainly looking very good.
