ACAPULCO, Mexico — Cameron Norrie extended his hot streak in February by upsetting Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-4 on Friday to qualify for the Mexican Open final where he´ll play either Rafael Nadal or Daniil Medvedev.
After losing all four of his matches in January, Norrie is 10-1 in February and arrived in Mexico after winning the third ATP Tour title of his career at Delray Beach.
Norrie, the sixth-seeded player in Acapulco, matched the biggest win of his career by beating No. 4-ranked Tsitsipas.
“I served very well today, I really enjoyed the match, it´s one of my best wins, I hope we can keep the run alive tomorrow”, said Norrie.
Norrie had service breaks in the ninth game of the first and second set to defeat Tsitsipas.

In his first final in Mexico, Norrie will play the winner of the late match between Nadal and Medvedev.
