After suffering a surprise second-round defeat by world no. 99 Aleksandar Vukic, British number two Cameron Norrie is withdrawn from the Canadian Open.
After reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals, Norrie, who is 39, lost to the Australian 6-3, 6-7, and 6-3.
The 29-year-old’s quest for a first singles title since 2023 continues.
Norrie won some good matches on the grass court this year, but he has struggled to carry that momentum onto the hard courts, falling behind in the first set by 3-0.
He battled on to force a decider, and he appeared to be having a blood test midway through the second set.
However, Norrie ultimately lost because he failed to make the most of any of his three crucial break points.
Despite reports that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are believed to have a significant supporter at the streaming giants, the pair may decide to renew their Netflix deal.
Meghan Markle might be about to renew her Netflix subscription.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could be about to make even more money next year, according to reports. However, despite their potential goldmine offer, it’s thought it’s not all good news for the Sussexes.
Their deal with Netflix was reportedly set to come to an end after running out this year. It was said to be bagging the former Royals in the region of £75million.
But after less than impressive viewing figures in return for both Meghan’s With Love, Meghan series and Harry’s documentary about polo, it was suggested the streaming giants were ready to go their separate ways. However, this is said to be far from the truth, with Netflix’s boss Ted Sarandos still seemingly keen to work with the pair.

According to Mail Online, Ted’s support of Meghan can be the pair’s “secret weapon”. Reporter Alison Bishoff says: “There will be a third series of the Duchess’s lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, if she wants to make one. And I hear she does.”
She claims that the pair’s partnership with the streamer could bring them into line with Barack and Michelle Obama’s current mega-deal. Additionally, it’s said any announcement coming up following the second series of With Love, Meghan will include an inside look into the pair’s festive season coming from the former Suits star.
However, the publication claims that their own large team at Archewell Production may need some internal belt tightening while their on-screen showings appear to be continuing. Rumors were made about producing a rom-comedy film based on the book Meet Me At The Lake and a Charles Dickens retelling of Great Expectations.
This may no longer apply, though. Many people think they will just go on forever because Ted Sarandos and Bela Bajaria, the Sussex team, haven’t yet written a script that will convince them enough to get the green light, the Mail reports.

With Love, Meghan was disappointing among the most-watched Netflix titles between January and June 2025, receiving a low ranking of 383. Since its initial broadcast in March, the wholesome series has attracted only 5.3 million viewers worldwide.
Meghan was pictured cooking, gardening, and hosting A-list friends on-screen, but in an embarrassing exchange, repeats of the former actress’s previous TV show Suits, which she starred in before meeting Harry, were placed higher.
Additionally, earlier this month, it was reported that the streaming service has decided not to renew the Sussexes’ contract, which has expired.

The opposition UNITA and Bloco Democratico parties said Angola was experiencing a “severe economic and social crisis” as a result of government policies that were “disconnected from the country’s reality” in a joint statement on Wednesday.
Jorrel Hato’s initial fee at Chelsea will be £37 million, subject to the Dutch club’s approval by the supervisory board.
After receiving the green light to travel to west London, the 19-year-old Dutchman is expected to agree to a seven-year contract that will run until 2032. He will also have the opportunity to get a medical.
Hato is regarded as a talented young option to challenge the backline, where he can play either at left-back or in central defense.
Hato, who was only 16 years and 335 days old when he made his senior debut for Ajax, became the club’s third-youngest player ever to play in an Eredivisie game in February 2023.
In 2023, he made his senior debut for the Netherlands and has made 75 appearances for the Eredivisie side.
After a two-year break from the Champions League’s significant revenues, Ajax have made the decision to sell him. This year, they’ll make a top-tier return to Europe’s top competition.
Chelsea are reportedly close to wrapping up their summer contract, but they are still looking for a replacement after speaking with RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons’ representatives without making a formal offer.
With Christopher Nkunku likely to leave, and with an openness to sell striker Nicolas Jackson for the right price, they are also trying to increase player sales.
This summer, who has Chelsea signed?
With their spending totaling more than £250 million, which is balanced by more than £150 million in player sales, Hato would make Chelsea’s eighth summer addition to the squad.
Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens, £48 million. The Bundesliga-born England youth international has a growing reputation as a direct, quick winger capable of breaking down defenses.
Brighton-based Joao Pedro, £55 million. The Brazilian forward impressed in the Premier League with his creativity, link-up play, and finishing prowess.
Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap, worth £30 million. Delap, a powerful striker with Premier League experience, gives Chelsea’s attacking options a different profile.
£12 million from Lyon to Mamadou Sarr. After graduating from Lyon’s academy, the 19-year-old center-back joins as one for the future, providing strength and calm in the field.
Sporting CP’s Dario Essugo, worth £18 million. Essugo, a highly regarded Portuguese midfielder, made his debut in Liga Portugal at the age of 16 and is renowned for his tenacity and maturity.
Estevao Willian, a Brazilian winger who left Palmeiras for the Blues this summer, signed for them for £29 million in May 2024.
Kendry Paez, an Ecuadorian teenager, signed for £17 million in 2023, but he has since made a summer deal with Chelsea after turning 18 in May.
