WATCH: Norrie displays impeccable touch to triumph in battle of Brits
Cameron Norrie ended the fairytale run of teenager Jack Draper to reach the last four at Queen’s.
The British no. 2 dispatched the young wildcard with relative ease, 6-3, 6-3, in a little under 90 minutes on-court at Queen’s Club.
Norrie showed his class early on, including this delicate play in the second game of the match.

The world no. 41 defended his serve well, seeing off all five of Draper’s break opportunities throughout the match. Meanwhile, Norrie claimed 3 of 6 break chances, securing the match on his own serve.
Despite Draper’s run coming to an end, the 19-year-old will no doubt be happy with his performances during the week.
On top of some impressive results, the teenager earned himself a wildcard into his first ever Grand Slam main draw at Wimbledon at the end of the month.
Cameron Norrie will next face either Denis Shapovalov or Frances Tiafoe for a place in the final of Queen’s 2021.
