Cameron Norrie Shocks Medvedev in Five-Set Thriller at French Open

Posted : 28 May 2025

Cameron Norrie staged a stunning upset at the French Open by defeating former world number one Daniil Medvedev in a gripping five-set battle on Tuesday. The British player, currently ranked 81st, triumphed 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6, 7-5 in just under four hours, earning his first victory over Medvedev in five encounters. This marked yet another early exit in Paris for Medvedev, who has now suffered first-round defeats six times at Roland Garros.

 

Norrie displayed impressive resilience in the final set, coming from behind after Medvedev served for the match at 5-4. The British No. 1 credited his preparation, particularly a recent semifinal against Novak Djokovic in Geneva, for helping him navigate the grueling encounter.

 

Reflecting on the win, Norrie expressed joy and disbelief, noting the emotional intensity of the moment and the significance of defeating such a formidable opponent in a Grand Slam setting.

 

Looking ahead, Norrie will face Argentina’s Federico Gomez in the second round. Gomez advanced after a four-set victory over American Aleksandar Kovacevic. Norrie acknowledged the challenge ahead, praising Gomez’s powerful serve and forehand, and emphasized the momentum his current form brings as he seeks to build on his first-round success.
