Cameron Norrie was beaten by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at Queen’s in the Briton’s first singles match since suffering a rib injury in May.<\/b><\/p>\n
Norrie has often been the last Briton standing at Grand Slams but had to retire injured from his first-round French Open match with the problem last month.<\/p>\n
He returned to the court in the men’s doubles at Queen’s on Monday, where he and Australian partner Alex de Minaur lost 6-4 7-5 to India’s Yuki Bhambri and Michael Venus of New Zealand.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the British number one started strongly against world number 22 Davidovich Fokina but ultimately faded to a 7-6 (8-6) 6-2 loss.<\/p>\n
Norrie went an early break up against the Spaniard but Davidovich Fokina responded straight away, before holding firm in the tie-break.<\/p>\n
Despite finding himself on the floor at several points as he dived and slid around the court, Davidovich Fokina broke Norrie’s serve twice on his way to closing out victory.<\/p>\n
Norrie is one of five Britons to have direct entry into the Wimbledon main draw when the tournament begins on Monday, 29 June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
