Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie reached his first final of 2025 with a three-set victory over Lorenzo Sonego at the Moselle Open.<\/p>\n
Seventh seed Norrie, 30, had been taken to the distance in each of his first three matches in Metz and, in two of those, had fought back from a set behind to win.<\/p>\n
That was the case again as Italian Sonego took the first set of their semi-final, before Norrie completed a 4-6 6-2 6-4 win in exactly two hours.<\/p>\n
Norrie, ranked 27th in the world and 15 places higher than Sonego, saved two break points early in the second set.<\/p>\n
In little trouble on his own serve after that – helped by an 83% first-serve percentage for the match – Norrie created a host of opportunities to break his opponent and eventually did so in the 10th game of the decider to clinch victory.<\/p>\n
Norrie will play either Vitaliy Sachko of Ukraine or Learner Tien of the United States in the final on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie reached his first final of 2025 with a three-set victory over Lorenzo Sonego at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-249721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
