Cameron Norrie's victory over Valentin Royer in the Moselle Open second round has given him a boost ahead of his next match, where he faces Arthur Cazaux. The seventh seed won 6-3 6-7 (2-7) 6-3, overcoming a tough test from his French opponent.
In contrast, Britain's Jacob Fearnley suffered an early exit in Athens after losing to Damir Dzumhur 6-4 6-2. The defeat marked another setback for the British number three, who had been hoping to make some progress at the tournament.
As Norrie seeks to add his first ATP Tour title since 2023, he will be looking to build on his recent form and overcome the challenging conditions of home advantage in the next round. Fearnley's early exit has meant that Britain is now down to just two players competing in the event.
The WTA Finals are also underway in Riyadh, with Elena Rybakina becoming the first woman through to the semi-finals on Monday. The men's Finals will begin on Sunday, where five British players will target success in the doubles competition, marking a rare instance of Great Britain having multiple players in the top 10 rankings.
Lorenzo Musetti must now claim the title at the Moselle Open to secure his place at the ATP Finals after Auger-Aliassime withdrew due to injury. The WTA Finals continue with Rybakina poised for another strong showing, as Norrie and Fearnley prepare to resume their respective campaigns in the coming days.
The tennis community is eagerly watching these events unfold, with fans holding their breaths as they await more thrilling victories and upsets.

he's on fire right now! winning over valentin royer was a tough one, but i knew he could do it 
. now he just needs to keep that momentum going against arthur cazaux... fingers crossed! 
can't believe jacob fearnley got knocked out so early tho 
, he's such a talented player, wish him luck for next time 
. btw, i love how britain is repping at the wta finals too, 5 players in the doubles comp? that's amazing! 
go british tennis! 
He's totally on fire right now! I'm super hyped to see how he'll do against Arthur Cazaux next. And poor Jacob Fearnley... his loss is like, such a bummer 
. Britain's got only two players left competing now, so I'm rooting for Norrie all the way! 
. It's gonna be a crazy couple of days in tennis! 
but like seriously jacob fearnley is literally heartbroken right now 
hopefully he'll bounce back from this one and get some more wins under his belt 
, I mean who wouldn't fall for that French charm 
? But seriously though, Norrie's got some game if he can take down Cazaux. On the other hand, Jacob Fearnley's exit from Athens isn't exactly a shock - he's been struggling to find his footing all season 
. Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina's on fire 
, and with Norrie and Musetti still in the mix, it's anyone's game at the Moselle Open. Too bad Fearnley's not around to add some British flair to the competition 
.
and I think he's got a real shot at taking home the title this time around, especially with azarenka and dimitrov lurking in the background, but you can't count out cazaux either, he's been playing some solid tennis lately 
. on the other hand, fearnley's exit is pretty disappointing for britain, I mean, they need all the momentum they can get heading into the wta finals 
. what do you guys think about norrie's chances?
.
. Who will come out on top? Can't wait to see how the rest of the Moselle Open and WTA Finals unfold 
.
