Norrie also made it to the last eight in California, where he lost in straight sets to Carlos Alcaraz. The 30-year-old now holds a two-place advantage over Draper in the ATP rankings.
He spoke about his return to the top of British tennis in an interview with Sky Sports: Cameron Norrie describes being British number one as a ‘nice bonus’ Photo by Fiona Goodall/Getty Images “[It was not on my radar] to be honest, but it is something obviously very special,” said Norrie. “It is the cherry on the cake to be British number one, but there are obviously still 23 guys ranked ahead of me. “So there are a lot of things, a lot of progressions to be made, but it is something cool and obviously shows that we are heading in the right direction.
” Norrie also had praise for Jack Draper’s comeback from injury. “It is nice to have Jack [Draper] back,” he said. “I think it’s super impressive to see him, and he is only a couple of tournaments back now.
“For me, with my injury, it took me a while to get match fit and everything, but for him, he is back playing at such a high level, and that was super impressive. “I know how much and how badly he wants to be back playing these tournaments, so it is nice to have him back, especially for the Davis Cup. ” Draper doesn’t fare well in his record against Norrie so far.
