Barcelona Open: Cameron Norrie beaten by Lorenzo Musetti in last 16

British number one Cameron Norrie was beaten in the last 16 of the Barcelona Open by Italian Lorenzo Musetti.

Seventh seed Norrie, 27, controlled the first set and had openings in a tight second but Musetti fought back to win 3-6 6-4 6-1 in the clay-court event.

At 4-4 in the second set Norrie moved to 15-40 on Musetti's serve, but missed the break-point chances and had his own serve broken in the next game.

British number two Dan Evans plays Russian Karen Khachanov later.

Musetti, the 21-year-old world number 20, has achieved his best career results on clay and beat Novak Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters last week in a run to the quarter-finals.
