The French Open third round will feature a Battle of Britain, as Cameron Norrie and Jacob Fearnley are set to face off on Court Simonne-Mathieu.
Three British men reached the third round at Roland Garros for the first time in almost 60 years, but at most two will progress to the fourth, with the UK’s second and third seeds now due to meet.
Both graduates of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, Norrie and Fearnley have trained together in the past, but there will be no love lost as the pair meet today.
Fearnley has gone so far as to cite Norrie as an inspiration in his career, saying: “To see a guy going to the college that I went to, seeing how well he did coming out of college, it was more just inspiring, showed me that it was possible, that the coaches at TCU and the work that he put in at TCU could get him to the Tour.”
Despite being knocked out of the doubles bracket, Fearnley is yet to drop a set as a single, though Norrie required five to get beyond Daniil Medvedev in a near four-hour first-round meeting.
