Cameron Norrie Continues Resurgence in Los Cabos
Cameron Norrie has secured his place in the Los Cabos Open quarter-finals following a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Australia's James Duckworth. The win marks a significant turnaround for the British number two, who had endured a six-match losing streak dating back to April before finding his rhythm this week in Mexico.
Norrie, the tournament's fifth seed, overcame a 3-0 deficit in the opening set and successfully navigated a late challenge in the second to close out the match. He is now set to face Bernard Tomic in the next round. The draw has opened up significantly following the exits of top seed Jiri Lehecka and fourth seed Karen Khachanov.
Injury Updates and Tournament Progress
In Washington, the Mubadala DC Open saw Naomi Osaka advance to the quarter-finals after her opponent, Ashlyn Krueger, was forced to retire due to an ankle injury. Osaka, who led 6-3, 3-1 at the time of the retirement, will next face Elisabetta Cocciaretto. This marks Osaka’s third consecutive quarter-final appearance.
Elsewhere in the Washington draw, Jack Draper provided a notable injury update, withdrawing from the tournament due to discomfort in his left arm. Despite the setback, organizers have confirmed that Draper has been awarded a wildcard entry into the upcoming Canadian Open. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Montreal event but remains scheduled to compete in the Cincinnati Masters next month.
The tournament also saw a breakthrough for 17-year-old Cruz Hewitt, who defeated Marcos Giron 6-3, 6-4 in his main draw debut, while top seed Alex de Minaur moved past Stefanos Tsitsipas in a three-set encounter.
