Posted : 24 September 2023
In the quarter-finals of the Zhuhai Championships, British number one Cameron Norrie faced a straight-set defeat at the hands of Russia's Aslan Karatsev.
Norrie, the second seed in China and ranked 17th in the world, couldn't overcome the challenge posed by the 63rd-ranked Karatsev, losing with scores of 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5) in a closely contested match.
Karatsev, aged 30, who previously eliminated Andy Murray in the round of 16, continued his impressive run with another hard-fought victory.
In the semi-finals, Karatsev will take on the winner of the match between Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff and Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka.
Meanwhile, Russian top seed Karen Khachanov is set to face American Sebastian Korda in the second semi-final of the tournament.
This tournament marked Norrie's return to singles competition following his appearance in the US Open's round of 32 and his participation in the Davis Cup, where he contributed to Britain reaching the final eight.
