The British cameron norriestarting with Caja Mágica as the ninth favorite, the Spanish recognized Carlos Alcaraz nasa Round of 16 of the Mutua Madrid Open after beating North American in three sets John Isner (6-4, 6-7 (5) and 6-4).
The twenty -nine direct serves he accumulated in the two and a quarter hours that the encounter lasted did little to benefit the North American. He signed thirty in his debut against Serbian Filip Krajcinovic and took advantage of them to advance. This time, in one of the outer courts, the giant American veteran only served to extend the wrist against an opponent with more arguments on the clay.
As happened a few months ago, in Acapulco, the British survived the tournament until reaching the final where he lost to Nadal.
Norrie, who has three titles in his career but none on clay, has withstood Isner’s onslaught. It’s about time. Once he broke the American’s serve, he took advantage of it to not balance the sleeve. He did it twice in the first set and once, enough, in the third. There was no break in the second and Isner was stronger there to tie the duel.
The Briton is making his debut at the Mutua Madrid Open this year. He is already in the second round where Carlos Alcaraz awaits him, the sensation of the circuit.
This is the third time that Norrie and Alcaraz have crossed paths in recent times. To this day, the Spaniard who won the US Open last year and then, in the quarterfinals of the Masters 1000 at Indian Wells, has always won.
