Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie claimed a first win since September’s US Open, beating Frenchman Arthur Cazaux in a third-set tie-break to reach the third round of the Shanghai Masters.<\/b><\/p>\n
The British number two was knocked out by Novak Djokovic in the third round at Flushing Meadows and has since tasted back-to-back defeats in Chengdu and Beijing. <\/p>\n
But it proved to be third time lucky in China for Norrie as the five-time winner on the ATP Tour clinched a rollercoaster 6-3 0-6 7-6 (7-5) victory over the world number 70. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere, world number two Jannik Sinner began the defence of his title in Shanghai with a comfortable 6-3 6-3 win over Germany’s Daniel Altmaier. <\/p>\n
Sinner, who won the China Open last week, broke early in both sets as he eased into the third round at the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena.<\/p>\n
The Italian will face Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in the next round.<\/p>\n
Germany’s Alexander Zverev overcame a foot problem to secure his place in the third round with a 6-4 6-4 victory over Valentin Royer.<\/p>\n
Russia’s Daniil Medvedev breezed through his match with Czech qualifier Dalibor Svrcina, wrapping up a 6-1 6-1 win in 60 minutes.<\/p>\n
However, Medvedev’s compatriot Andrey Rublev was knocked out, falling to a surprise 2-6 6-1 6-4 defeat by Japanese qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka.<\/p>\n
Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti all came through their matches to reach the last 32.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
