PARIS, May 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Britain's Cameron Norrie ousted former world
number one Daniil Medvedev in a marathon five-set first round match at the
French Open on Tuesday.

Former US Open champion and five-time Grand Slam runner-up Medvedev was
dumped out in the first round for the sixth time in Paris, losing 7-5, 6-3,
4-6, 1-6, 7-5.

British number one Norrie, ranked 81, took just under four hours to wrap up
his first win in five meetings against the 11th-seeded Russian.

"It was a great atmosphere, it really felt I had momentum in the first set
and he raised his level," said Norrie.

"I managed to get it over the line, it was a crazy match, he's got me the
last four our five matches."

The 29-year-old Medvedev's best finish in Paris was the quarter-finals in
2021.

Norrie, also 29, plays the second round in Paris for the fifth time where he
meets either American Aleksandar Kovacevic or Argentina's Federico Gomez.
