In my opinion it was probably his best performance on a tennis court.'Įlsewhere in the men's quarter-finals, Greek second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas will face unseeded Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili on Friday, while Germany's world number four Alexander Zverev takes on American Taylor Fritz. He's now got a great chance to reach his first final. The best tennis I've ever seen him play to dismantle Schwartzman. Speaking on Amazon Prime, former British number one Greg Rusedski said: 'It's been an incredible performance from Norrie. I had to keep my foot down and was able to get that second break and relax and play some great tennis,' added Norrie. He snuck through a couple of matches already this tournament. Victory over Schwartzman, who Norrie also beat in the first round of the 2020 US Open, should give the Briton enough ranking points to break into the world's top 20 for the first time in his career. I'm really happy with the way I handled everything.

It's probably the biggest win of my career. 'I thought I was in for an absolute battle. Speaking after the win, Norrie said: 'It was such a big moment for me playing my first Masters 1,000 quarter-final, especially against Diego.

Norrie dismantled the world number 15 in 73 minutes for his 45th win on the ATP Tour this season. The world number 28 beat Poland's Hubert Hurkacz 3-6 6-4 7-6 (6-2) to reach his first Masters 1,000 semi-final in two years. Norrie will face Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the last four. The 26-year-old left-hander had never previously reached the last eight of a Masters 1,000 tournament.
