Cameron Norrie reaches semi-finals at Moselle Open by beating Zizou Bergs

British men’s number two Cameron Norrie continued his positive end to an injury-hit season by reaching the semi-finals of the Moselle Open.

The 29-year-old reached the last four with a 6-3 6-7 (6-8) 6-1 victory over Belgian Zizou Bergs.

The former world number eight is playing in only his third ATP event since July due to a forearm injury that has ruled him out of the US Open.

After failing to take two match points in the second set tie-break, Norrie recovered to dominate the deciding set against Bergs in 61st place.

“I should have had the tiebreak in the second set, but he played faster than me and took a bit more risk,” said Norrie, who has dropped to 57th in the rankings.

“I wasn’t happy, but I managed to reset.

“He’s a good player and had a really good year, so it’s a great win for me.”

Norrie will play Frenchman Corentin Moutet in the semi-finals on Friday at around 2.30pm GMT.

Moutet, ranked 66th, advanced as Russian top seed Andrei Rublev withdrew after securing his place at the end-of-season ATP finals next week.
