US Open: Cameron Norrie through in New York, Dan Evans out
Calm assurance on the court is one of Norrie's key strengths and this was another example of him locking in to get the job done without any fuss.
He remonstrated with umpire Timo Janzen, claiming Norrie was doing it with "four, five, six" seconds left on the 25-second shot clock and suggesting there should be a code violation issued to his opponent. Norrie ignored the issue and eventually served out for a two-set lead, before racing through the third in 29 minutes.Evans and Cilic shared warm words at the end of their titanic battle, with the Briton graciously telling his opponent he had "been better"
The former world number three has performed consistently well on the New York hard courts over the years - apart from a first-round exit last year when he retired injured - and also reached the French Open semi-finals this season. There was also a bizarre moment when the Briton complained to the umpire about a heckler and many of the crowd chanted for the man to be kicked out."He was ruining everybody's day really. He was rude to Marin and then to me," said Evans.
Cilic upped his standard in the third to a level which befitted his status as a former champion, leading Evans to say his opponent was "hitting every single line".
