Norrie Survives Nosebleeds, Jacquet's Surge to Reach ATP Semifinal
7 Nov
Summary
- Norrie overcomes nosebleeds, late comeback by Jacquet
- Musetti two wins away from ATP Finals spot, Djokovic a potential opponent
- Norrie to face Sonego or Altmaier for place in final
On November 7th, 2025, British tennis player Cameron Norrie secured a spot in the ATP semifinal after a hard-fought victory over France's Jacquet. Norrie started strongly, racing to a 4-1 lead in the first set, but a nosebleed and a late comeback from Jacquet threatened to derail his momentum.
World number 156 Jacquet used his powerful serve and forehand to win five games in a row, taking the opening set. However, Norrie regained his composure, saving a break point at 4-4 in the second set before dominating the eventual tiebreaker. Ultimately, Jacquet's 48 unforced errors proved costly, as Norrie broke him to love at 4-4 to serve out the victory.
Elsewhere, Italy's Lorenzo Musetti is two wins away from securing a spot at the season-ending ATP Finals. The world number nine must win the Athens Open title to claim the eighth and final spot at the prestigious tournament. If he fails to do so, Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime will take the place. Musetti, who has not won a title in two years, moved past France's Alexandre Muller to set up a semifinal clash with American Sebastian Korda. World number five Novak Djokovic, who has already qualified for the ATP Finals, is a potential final opponent for Musetti.
