Cameron Norrie has announced a scheduling change following his disappointing run in China.
The British No. 2 managed to pick up just one win at the Chengdu Open, China Open, and the Shanghai Masters.
Norrie was given tough draws in China, seeing his campaigns ended at the hands of Daniil Medvedev and Learner Tien.
The Brit’s only victory came at the Shanghai Masters, where Norrie picked up a win against Arthur Cazaux in three sets.
Cameron Norrie pulls out of the Stockholm Open
Norrie will be looking to put his disappointing Asian leg behind him, but the Brit will not be in action at the first tournament of the European indoor season.
The British No. 2 has announced his withdrawal from the Stockholm Open, a tournament he’s played several times before.
The star was defeated by Miomir Kecmanović in his opening round match in 2024, but he reached the quarter-finals in 2022.
Norrie defeated Aslan Karatsev before coming up short against Holger Rune in the final eight of the 2022 tournament.
With no players in the top ten competing at the tournament, it is hard not to feel as if this would have been a perfect opportunity for Norrie.
Who is playing in the 2025 Stockholm Open?
