In the 1/8 finals of the exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia, Australian Nick Kyrgios will play against Cameron Norrie from Great Britain.
Cameron NorrieThe 27-year-old representative of Great Britain last played in early November at the ATP-1000 tournament in Paris.
In France, Norrie did not play very well and only reached the 1/16 finals, where he unexpectedly lost to Frenchman Corentin Muta in three sets – 3:6; 7:5; 6:7 (3:7). This game was on the night of the second to the third of November.
Nick KyrgiosThe 27-year-old representative of Austria, in turn, last played in singles back in early October.
Kyrgios at the ATP tournament in Tokyo reached the quarterfinals on a fairly simple grid, but then on October seventh, Nick refused to match with Taylor Fritz from the USA.
But in doubles, Nick Kyrgios played in mid-December at the final ATP tournament in Turin. Together with his compatriot Thanasi Kokkinakis, Kyrgios could not get out of the group, the guys won only one victory in three matches. In their last match at the group stage, which was decisive, Kyrgios and Kokkinakis lost in two sets, but in a very hard fight to the Croats Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic – 6:7 (4:7); 6:7 (4:7). This game was on November 18.
Nick Kyrgios and Cameron Norrie last played at the end of July last year at the ATP tournament in Atlanta. Then in the 1/8 finals on hard, Norrie made a sensation and won in two sets – 6:1; 6:4.
ForecastIn this match, Nick Kyrgios is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite.
However, given the format of the tournament and Norrie's loud statements, the Briton should already prove here that he can be in the top of the ATP rankings. Here we suggest you take a chance and bet on Norrie.
