Cameron Norrie Preview – Can Norrie take his chance?
Britain’s Cameron Norrie is through to his first ATP Masters 1000 semi final.
This is a huge moment for him and he could be moving up into the Top 20 in the world after this.
It’s been a battling campaign at Indian Well for him.
Norrie took a 2-1 set victory in each of the first three rounds of action.
But it got better as he then dominated Diego Schwartzman in the quarter finals.
Norrie claimed a 2-0 set win in that one against a player who reached last year’s ATP Finals.
It appears that Norrie is right on top of his game at the moment.
In the match outright for tennis betting in this semi final, Norrie is a quote of 10/11* (odds taken 23:01 GMT October 14th 2021 at Unibet).
The victory over Schwartzman gave Norrie his 45th match win on the ATP this year.
That’s a huge amount of success from the Briton and he could also take over as the top British male this week.
If Norrie can match the performance levels that he showed against Schwartzman then he has a big chance against Dimitrov.
Just before Indian Wells Norrie had reached the final in San Diego where he was beaten by Casper Ruud.
That means Norrie is W8 L1 in his last nine Tour matches.
A Norrie 2-1 set betting option is at a quote of 7/2* (odds taken 23:01 GMT October 14th 2021 at Unibet)
Earlier this year at ATP Masters 1000 Miami, Norrie took a straight sets win over Dimitrov in their first-ever meeting.
Nerves may be a bigger factor for Norrie in the final four of a major tournament this time around.
Grigor Dimitrov Preview – Will Bugalrian prevail?
Grigor Dimitrov is in an ATP Masters 1000 semi final for the first time in two years.
He had a big fight on his hands in the quarter finals.
Dimitrov met Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz and won through courtesy of a final set tiebreaker.
Now, this semi final match doesn’t particularly look as if it’s going to be a one-way street for either player.
Dimitrov is also at 10/11 in the match outright for tennis betting* (odds taken 23:01 GMT October 14th 2021 at Unibet).
Dimitrov is ranked 28th in the world at the moment, a couple of places lower than Norrie.
The Bulgarian was in that recent San Diego tournament on the hard court.
He was defeated in the final four there by Casper Ruud, who as mentioned, went forward to beat Norrie in the Final.
