Cameron Norrie besegrar Stan Wawrinka i känslosam match i Barcelona Open

Cameron Norrie besegrade Stan Wawrinka med 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-4 i första omgången av Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, vilket satte punkt för den 41-årige schweizarens sista framträdande i turneringen efter en omdiskuterad matchboll via nätkanten. Norrie bad omedelbart om ursäkt till Wawrinka efter det tursamma avgörandet. Turneringsdirektören Tommy Robredo överlämnade en trofé till Wawrinka för att hedra hans karriär.

Matchen, som varade i två timmar och 33 minuter, såg Norrie besegra Wawrinka med totalt bara fyra poängs marginal. Den sjätteseedade britten, som är vänsterhänt, räddade fem av sju breakbollar och utnyttjade fyra av elva möjligheter. Wawrinka, som deltog via ett wildcard, kämpade tappert och tvingade fram ett tredje set efter att ha vunnit tiebreaket i det andra setet med 7-5.
