Cameron Norrie relishing tough Rafael Nadal test at French Open as he targets career high
Rafael Nadal has beaten Cam Norrie twice already this year
(Getty Images)Cameron Norrie believes his third-round meeting with Rafael Nadal at the French Open on Saturday is reward for the business-like approach he is taking to his tennis.
The British No2 faces 13-time Roland Garros champion Nadal after coming from a set down to beat South African Lloyd Harris 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 on Thursday.
It was Norrie’s 25th ATP victory this season and the world No45 is now close to entering the top 40 for the first time.
Despite his good form, the 25-year-old will find it extremely difficult to go any further in Paris. Nadal, on his 35th birthday, was ruthless as he beat Richard Gasquet 6-0, 7-5, 6-2 on Thursday and facing the Spaniard on the clay in Paris is one of the toughest tasks in sport.
But Norrie, the last Briton in the singles draws, said: “I feel great physically, which is a bonus. I will back my legs against anyone, even against Rafa.
“I think I am a lot more calm in bigger moments than I’ve been in the past.
“It would be great for me to get a career high. I think the biggest thing is I’m attacking tennis in all aspects and taking it to a different level professionally.
“Handling everything on the court and off the court and making it very business-like, like I am the CEO of a company, and I am doing things very smoothly.”
