French Open 2023: Cameron Norrie faces Lorenzo Musetti & could play Carlos Alcaraz next

Britain's Cameron Norrie says he is not distracted by the looming prospect of playing top seed Carlos Alcaraz as he tries to reach the French Open fourth round for the first time.

Norrie, seeded 14th, first faces a tough task in the third round against Italian 17th seed Lorenzo Musetti.

Spain's Alcaraz plays Canadian 26th seed Denis Shapovalov and the winners of each match will meet in the last 16.

"I saw it's Alcaraz but I'm focused on taking it match by match," said Norrie.

British men's number one Norrie has reached the third round at Roland Garros for the third successive year, following back-to-back wins over French players Benoit Paire and Lucas Pouille.
