Norrie beaten by Berrettini in Austria Open thriller

In a dramatic last-16 match, Italy’s Matteo Berrettini defeated British No. 2 Cameron Norrie.

The world number 59 overcame Norrie in three hours and 16 minutes with a 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (9-11) 6-4 victory in Vienna.

In the tie-break, Norrie punished Berretini for letting a 4-1 lead slip in the first set.

Both players kept serving throughout the second set, which was even tighter.

In the tie-break, Norrie took his fourth set-point opportunity to tie the game, but the Italian wasted a match point.

However, the 30-year-old was unable to sustain his momentum in the decisive set, so Berrettini made a crucial break in the ninth game to turn the match in his favor.
