Norrie saves match point in superb Montreal fightback

In a thrilling match at the Canadian Open, Cameron Norrie secured a crucial victory over world number seven Alex de Minaur. Norrie, who had been trailing by a set and 5-2, fought back to win 5-7, 7-6 (7-5), 6-1, advancing to the fourth round. De Minaur, who had a match point on his own serve in the second set, made two critical errors by double-faulting.

Norrie capitalized on these mistakes and took control in the tie-break before winning the deciding set. The 30-year-old British player expressed his satisfaction with the win, stating it tested his level and provided him with confidence. Norrie's next opponent will be France's Arthur Fils, while De Minaur's exit leaves fifth seed Ben Shelton as the only top-10 men's player remaining in the tournament.

In the women's event, Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one, continued her strong hard-court record by defeating China's Zhang Shuai 6-3, 6-4, setting up a match with Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova.
