Nori Gracious in Defeat

“It was a tough match,” Norrie reflected. “I felt like the match was a little bit quicker than I would have liked, and it was really tough to make it the way I wanted to and play my game style against him. And he was just yeah, it was all happening very quickly.”

“I think if you asked him, he would agree with that. And yeah, it was it was good fun. And and those are the kind of matches that you you want to think about and and you want to play. You do all the hard work, you do extra stuff with your coach, you do extra fitness and you you do all these things to get ready for matches like this, and I wanted just to go out there, no excuses, and just go play. And and I did that, and he was too good today, and and I fought to the last last point, so I can be proud.”

“He was too good today,” Norrie conceded. “My confidence is really high, to be honest. I just feeling great. I mean today as I said, it was the the best match so far in the in the tournament. I don’t know if it has been the best match in in the tournament that I played on grass or comparing to last year for example, but you know, just really pleased and happy that uh that I’m playing I’m playing such a great tennis right now.”
