Monfils upsets Norrie in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Ohio: An inspired Gael Monfils applied the finishing touches to a British exodus at the Cincinnati Open on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 defeat of 13th seed Cameron Norrie.

The veteran French showman got his left knee wrapped in the opening set of the first-round match and took confidence from encouraging words from the physio to secure the win which left Britain 0-3 on the day here.
