Cameron Norrie suffers French Open first-round defeat

The British number one was beaten in five sets by Russian world number 56 Pavel Kotov.

British number one Cameron Norrie slumped out of the French Open in the first round to Russian Pavel Kotov.

Kotov raced into a 4-0 lead and Norrie was unable to peg him back as he bowed out at the first-round stage for the first time since 2020. “I didn’t play well at all but I still should have won comfortably. I felt physically good, practice has been going well. I couldn’t believe I was in a fifth set.”Norrie was joined on the British scrapheap by Harriet Dart, who lost 7-6 6-4 to Czech 27th seed Linda Noskova.
