Norrie *2-4 Bellucci
Mattia Bellucci just hit perhaps the shot of the tournament so far, and is exuding real quality early on against fellow left-hander Cam Norrie on No. 1 Court.
The Italian is coping pretty well with Norrie’s serve, forcing a deuce as he looked to take an early double-break.
Norrie, with the advantage, did little wrong with his 107mph serve from the left, pushing Bellucci well out wide with a bit of kick.
But the world No. 73 left the fans purring as he absolutely crunched a forehand around the net post, kissing the sideline, eradicating his opponent’s advantage.
Norrie went on to seal the hold, but that one deserves to be replayed again, and again. Exhibition stuff.
