Cameron Norrie’s campaign at the Mifel Tennis Open in Mexico concluded with a semi-final loss to defending champion Denis Shapovalov. The match took place in Los Cabos under hot and humid conditions and lasted two hours and 38 minutes. Shapovalov secured the win in three sets, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, in a closely contested encounter.

Norrie had broken a six-match losing streak by advancing beyond the opening round, adding two victories before facing Shapovalov. Despite his strong performance, the British player fell short of reaching the final, where Shapovalov is set to face Arthur Gea.

The result means Norrie remains just behind British No.1 Arthur Fery in the rankings, as his semi-final exit prevented him from overtaking Fery. Both Norrie and Fery continue to compete for the top British position in men’s tennis.

Shapovalov’s victory extends his title defense at the Mifel Tennis Open as he pursues another tournament win on home soil. The match highlighted the competitive nature of the event and the challenges players face coping with local conditions.
