French Open 2023: Another win for Lorenzo Musetti as Cameron Norrie loses in the match
Posted : 03 June 2023
As Italy's Lorenzo Musetti outperformed the top-ranked player from Great Britain, Cameron Norrie's attempt to advance to the French Open final 16 was again unsuccessful.
Norrie, 27, was defeated 6-1 6-2 6-4 in the third round at Roland Garros for the third year in a row.
Musetti is the 17th seed in Italy, while Norrie, who was seeded 14th and is ranked higher, played poorly against him on the Paris clay.
There are no longer any British players in the singles as a result of Norrie's withdrawal.
"I would say this one hurts more than others being at a Grand Slam and wanting to play well," said Norrie, who reached the Wimbledon semi-finals last year.
"Hopefully it gives me more fuel and I'll get ready for the next Grand Slam [at Wimbledon].
"There are no excuses to play the level that I did today. I missed so many easy-shot balls, and, yeah, I lost so many points within a couple of shots where usually I can win a lot of those ones."
Losing prevented Norrie from having a chance to play top seed Carlos Alcaraz in the fourth round; instead, Musetti moved on to face the 20-year-old when the Spaniard defeated Canadian 26th seed Denis Shapovalov.
