Shapovalov Beats Norrie to Reach Los Cabos Final

Strong serving in the final set preserved Shapovalov's title defence ahead of a final against Arthur Gea.

Overview

  • Denis Shapovalov defeated Cameron Norrie 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 in the Los Cabos semi-final, holding serve throughout the decisive third set.
  • Norrie reached the semi-final after a run that halted a six-match losing streak but was eliminated before he could sustain his recovery.
  • Norrie was broken in his first service game to fall 2-0, fought back to win the second set on a late point, and then lost a first-game break in the third that proved decisive.
  • Shapovalov credited his serving for the victory and finished the match in roughly two hours and 39–40 minutes.
  • Shapovalov will meet Arthur Gea in the final after Gea beat Coleman Wong, a result that adds to Los Cabos' recent upsets and could affect player momentum ahead of the North American hard-court swing.
