Norrie Trounces Polmans
World no. 17 Cameron Norrie made a fine start in Zhuhai, racing past Marc Polmans in straight sets.
The second seed, who had a first round bye, needed an hour and 18 minutes to beat the Aussie 6-0, 6-3.
Norrie did not face a single break point in the match, while he converted 4 of 7 break points to storm into the second round.
The left-handed Briton improved to 37-19 in 2023. He won his fifth career title this year and finished runner-up in Auckland and Buenos Aires respectively.
Norrie’s recent form has not been good. After making three consecutive opening round defeats in the run-up to the US Open, he went down in the third round at Flushing Meadows. That was followed by two defeats at the Davis Cup last week.
So things have been a bit dodgy for the Briton in recent times, but he will be happy with the brisk start in Zhuhai and will look to build on it.

Karatsev Rallies Past Murray
For the second straight match, Aslan Karatsev rallied from a set down to beat his opponent. While in the first round it was Matteo Arnaldi, who threw away a one set lead, while in the second round it was Andy Murray, who lost after taking the first set.

The world no. 63 improved to 27-18 across levels following the win over Murray.
This is the third time that he will be playing in a quarterfinal this year. He went on to reach the semifinals in Madrid and Pune. Can he make it to another semifinal?
