Norrie records first win since US Open

Great Britain's Cameron Norrie claimed a first win since September's US Open, beating Frenchman Arthur Cazaux in a third-set tie-break at the Shanghai Masters.

The British number two was beaten by Novak Djokovic in the third round at Flushing Meadows and has since tasted back-to-back defeats in Chengdu and Beijing.

But it proved to be third-time lucky in China for Norrie as the five-time winner on the ATP Tour clinched a rollercoaster 6-3 0-6 7-6 (7-5) win over the world number 70.

Norrie, the 30th seed and ranked 33rd in the world, showed all his experience as he breezed through the opening set courtesy of two breaks, making just four unforced errors and barely dropping a point on serve.
