Cameron Norrie vence a Stan Wawrinka en un emotivo partido del Barcelona Open

Cameron Norrie derrotó a Stan Wawrinka por 6-4, 6-7(5) y 6-4 en la primera ronda del Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, poniendo fin a la última participación del jugador suizo de 41 años en el torneo tras un polémico punto de partido decidido por el roce de la red. Norrie se disculpó inmediatamente con Wawrinka tras el afortunado golpe ganador. El director del torneo, Tommy Robredo, entregó a Wawrinka un trofeo en honor a su legado.

El encuentro, que duró dos horas y 33 minutos, vio a Norrie superar a Wawrinka por solo cuatro puntos de diferencia en total. El séptimo cabeza de serie británico, zurdo, salvó cinco de las siete bolas de rotura a las que se enfrentó y convirtió cuatro de las 11 que generó. Wawrinka, quien participó mediante una invitación, luchó con determinación y forzó un tercer set tras ganar el desempate de la segunda manga por 7-5.
