Cameron Norrie delivered one of his most dominant performances in recent memory, dismantling Bernard Tomic 6-1, 6-0 in just 50 minutes to reach the semi-finals of the Los Cabos Open. It marks the Briton's first last-four appearance of the 2026 season and a welcome return to form after a difficult stretch on tour.
Norrie arrived in Mexico carrying a six-match losing streak, but three consecutive straight-set victories have completely turned his momentum around. Against Tomic, who entered the main draw as a lucky loser from qualifying, the match was essentially over before it began. Tomic held serve in the very first game, then watched as Norrie reeled off 12 straight games to close out the contest.
Reflecting on the win, Norrie said he was pleased with his solidity and movement, noting that he kept Tomic working hard from the baseline throughout. He also opened up about a difficult period earlier in the season, admitting he overtrained ahead of the French Open and then dropped some tight matches at Queen's and Wimbledon. Rebuilding confidence took time, but he described the feeling of getting back to winning as genuinely meaningful.
Standing between Norrie and a Los Cabos final is the fifth seed's next opponent: Denis Shapovalov, the defending champion in Los Cabos, who advanced by defeating Dalibor Svrcina in straight sets. It is a fascinating match-up between two players who have shown flashes of brilliance throughout their careers.
With Norrie finally hitting his stride on hard courts, the semi-final promises to be a compelling watch. TennisDraw users will be eager to update their bracket picks ahead of what shapes up as a genuine coin-flip clash.
