After Andy Murray’s retirement, British eyes turn to 23-year-old successor Jack Draper
Ending 2024 at world No. 15 with two titles to his name, the lefty is solidifying himself as a contender on the ATP tour.
There was a bit of spice at the handshake after Norrie defeated Carballes Baena 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 for his first tour-level win since July.
The former world No. 1 continued his triumphant return to the Nordea Open, an event he last played in 2005, and scored a 6-4, 6-4 victory over the fifth-seeded Brit to reach his second quarterfinal of the season.
The former semifinalist used his experience to take down fellow lefty in a three-set battle.
