Cameron Norrie, Britain's last singles player in the Australian Open, advanced to the fourth round for the first time after defeating 11th seed Casper Ruud in a four-set match. Norrie, who is seeded 19th, secured the victory with a scoreline of 6-4, 6-7(7), 6-4, 6-3, marking his best performance in six Australian Open campaigns and earning a £317,000 pay-day. Following this win, Norrie faced Alexander Zverev in a bid to reach the quarterfinals for the first time. The match against Zverev extended to five sets, with Norrie coming from behind twice. However, Zverev ultimately won the match 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(3), advancing to his 3rd Australian Open Quarterfinal and ending British hopes in the singles competition. The match was also marked by an incident where a pro-Palestine protester disrupted play by throwing leaflets onto the court, leading to a brief pause in the match. It was Norrie's longest match of his career.
A mask-wearing protestor decided to throw papers that read 'Free Palestine' all over the court at the Australian Open only to get escorted out by fans. The fans eventually returned to their seats to an ovation. READ: https://t.co/mcVsi55MHU https://t.co/eZGGYlquAR
