British player beaten 6-3, 7-6 (3) by Taylor Fritz of the USHubert Hurkacz now in pole position in Race to TurinCameron Norrie is unlikely to qualify for the ATP Finals in Turin after he bowed out of the
Paris Masters in the third round, losing 6-3, 7-6 (3) to Taylor Fritz of the
United States in an intense two-set tussle.
Earlier, Hubert Hurkacz, who sits eighth in the ATP Race to Turin, recovered from a set down to beat Dominik Koepfer 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 and reach the quarter-finals in Paris. His victory meant Norrie had to defeat Fritz to maintain a decent chance of qualification, which he was unable to do. Hurkacz can now secure his place in the ATP Finals, and rule Norrie out, if he wins his next match, against Australia’s James Duckworth, the world No 55.
