Norrie will play Norway’s Casper Ruud in Round Robin play today
FORT WORTH – TCU Tennis alumnus Cameron Norrie has earned entry into the 2021 Nitto ATP Finals in Turin, Italy this morning. Norrie enters the tournament as an alternate, replacing an injured Stefanos Tsitsipas. Norrie will play No. 8 seed Casper Ruud today at 2 p.m. on Tennis Channel.
He becomes the first TCU alumnus to enter the ATP Finals and just the fourth British player to play in the tournament in its 52-year history. He is one of three active former collegiate tennis players on tour to qualify for the end-of-year tournament, along with John Isner (Georgia) and Kevin Anderson (Illinois).
Norrie is one of five players on tour this season with 50 or more wins (50-22). He reached six finals this season, tied for the most on tour with world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
The Nitto ATP Finals is the year-end climax to the ATP Tour season. The event, which features only the world's best eight qualified singles players and doubles teams, is contested in a round-robin format with the best four players and doubles teams reaching the knockout semi-finals stage. The prestigious tournament has been contested in major cities around the world, with a rich history dating back to the birth of The Masters in Tokyo (1970).
