Overview

  • Cameron Norrie reached the US Open third round by defeating Francisco Comesana in four sets.
  • The match is scheduled for Arthur Ashe Stadium’s night session, starting at midnight UK time (7pm local).
  • Novak Djokovic has appeared below his peak, taking a foot-related medical timeout against Learner Tien and dropping a set to Zachary Svajda.
  • Norrie trails 0-6 in their head-to-head, and this will be their first meeting on an outdoor hard court.
  • Norrie says he will lean on physicality, while Tim Henman, Andy Roddick and Leon Smith encourage a bold, attacking plan given Djokovic’s early struggles.
