British number two Cameron Norrie has successfully clinched a spot in the quarter-finals of the Delray Beach Open in Florida. The 29-year-old triumphed over French ninth seed Arthur Rinderknech in a match that showcased his resilience and skill.

Norrie, the 2022 champion of this tournament, although unseeded this year due to his drop to 61st in the world rankings, demonstrated his championship mettle. The match began with a nail-biting first-set tie-break, where Norrie edged out Rinderknech 11-9. He then dominated the second set, securing a 6-2 victory.

The challenging match, lasting just over two hours in the sweltering Florida heat, tested both players' endurance and determination. Norrie's performance reaffirms his status as a formidable competitor on the ATP tour.

Looking ahead, Norrie is set to face either American qualifier Michael Mmoh or the third-seed Alex Michelsen in the quarter-finals. This matchup promises to be an exciting encounter as Norrie continues his quest to reclaim his title at the Delray Beach Open.
