Cameron Norrie vs Alex de Minaur preview
World No.13 Cameron Norrie will square off against Alex de Minaur in the first round of the Canadian Open on Monday.
Norrie has had an average season so far this year. He got off to a good start but struggled for form since the start of the clay season. He has a 32-14 record for this year along with one title, which came at the ATP 500 in Rio de Janeiro. Other notable results this year have been runner-up showings in Buenos Aires and Auckland.
Cameron Norrie will be making his fourth appearance at the Canadian Open. He possesses a 3-3 record at the event and his best showing has been a Round of 16 finish last season. He will look to gain back some form after enduring some disappointing losses in recent times.
Alex de Minaur, on the other hand, will be opening his Canadian Open campaign this year after reaching the final of the Los Cabos Open (to be played at the time of writing).
The Australian has had a good season this year, holding a 27-15 record along with one title. His only title this year came at the Mexican Open. The Aussie had a disappointing clay season, losing in the second round of all three Clay Masters 1000s and Roland Garros. However, he has bounced back since the start of the grass season.
De Minaur is making his fourth appearance at the Canadian Open. He has a 2-3 record at the tournament and his best result has been a third round finish at last year's event.
