- Norrie loses 6-3, 7-5 to American 10th seed in third round
- Former British No 1 hits double fault on match point
It has been three and a half years since Cameron Norrie departed the Indian Wells Tennis Garden having shocked his sport by winning one of its most important trophies. A rise into the top 10 of the ATP rankings and a Wimbledon semi-final followed soon after.
Despite two extremely positive earlier performances during the past week in the desert, Norrie remains a considerable distance from reproducing his success of old. The 29-year-old was outclassed in the third round of Indian Wells by the No 10 seed Tommy Paul, whose greater weapons and confidence in the decisive moments earned him a 6-3, 7-5 win.
