French Open: Norrie Stuns Medvedev In 'crazy' Rollercoaster; Zverev Wins
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Top British men's tennis player Cameron Norrie caused a major upset at the French Open on Tuesday, stunning 11th seed Daniil Medvedev in a gruelling five-set battle in the men's singles first round, while last year's runner-up Alexander Zverev of Germany too advanced to the next round.
In other first-round action, Australia's Alex de Minaur, the ninth seed, defeated Laslo Djere of Serbia 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(6) while Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan defeated James Duckworth of Australia 6-2, 6-4, 6-4.
Norrie, currently No. 81 in the ATP Rankings, dug deep into his energy reserves for a 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5 victory to advance to the second round in Paris for the fifth time. After rallying from a two-sets-to-love deficit, Medvedev then failed to serve out the match at 5-4 in the decider before Norrie crossed the line after three hours, 53 minutes.
