French Open 2023: Cameron Norrie thrashed by Lorenzo Musetti at Roland-Garros as final Brit departs singles

Cameron Norrie was thrashed 6-1 6-2 6-4 by Lorenzo Musetti at the French Open to leave no Brits left in either the men’s or women’s singles draws at Roland-Garros.

The Brit was the slight favourite in the seedings – 14th to Musetti’s 17th – but that counted for nothing in the first set as Norrie was broken twice to go behind in quick time, losing the opener 6-1.

Norrie saved a break point in his first service game of set two as he managed to remain on level terms until 2-2.

But from there the 27-year-old didn’t win a further game as Musetti dialled it up, taking the set 6-2, and doubling his advantage in the match.

Things looked ominous for Norrie as the third set began, as the Brit gave up his serve once more.

However, he dug out a break back in game six to claw himself back to 3-3.

But the respite was only fleeting as Musetti sealed a break in the ninth game of the set, before serving it out to win in straight sets.

Up next for Musetti, the winner of Carlos Alcaraz and Denis Shapovalov.
