Moselle Open: Cameron Norrie beats Luca van Assche to reach quarter-finals
Britain’s Cameron Norrie beat Luca van Assche at the Moselle Open to reach his first ATP Tour quarter-final since April.
Norrie, who spent almost three months out with a forearm injury, beat the Frenchman 6-3 3-6 6-1.
It is the first time the 29-year-old has registered back-to-back wins on the main ATP Tour since Wimbledon in July.
World number 57 Norrie has not won an ATP title this season, having struggled for rhythm before the injury that led to him pulling out of the Olympics and the US Open.
His last quarter-final showing was on the Barcelona Open clay courts, where he lost to Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry.
“I’m just trying to enjoy the last week of the year for me competing,” Norrie told Sky Sports.
“I’m here another day, which is great, but I’ll have to improve my level to keep going further in the tournament.”
He will face Belgium’s Zizou Bergs for a place in the semi-finals.
