Cam Norrie d. Sebastian Baez (6-4, 4-6, 7-5) to advance to the Semis at Lyon, will play Rune
Another entertaining match involving Norrie, and some incredible lobs by Baez including an absolute gem to save a match point. Will be interesting to see how Rune plays against quality player like Norrie.

Unpopular opinion but I love watching Cam Norrie play. He’s gotta be one of the scrappiest and cleverest players on tour.
I love watching him just for the polarity of top spin between his backhand and forehand, something about it just speaks to my soul, It must be an absolute nightmare to play against.
Yeah his game would be so brutal to play against -- his spinny forehand really bounces high against righty backhands and then his flat and consistent backhand can absorb power from opposing forehands and keeps it low so its hard to attack off of it. Great at ending points with an inside-out forehand when their opponent is scared of their backhand being attack and leave the forehand side open.
His techniques have a lot of forethought in them, and really take advantage of the fact that he's a lefty.
Combine that with the fact he's a lefty!
