Norrie wins in Challenger event on injury return

British number two Cameron Norrie marked his return after three months out through injury with a straight-set win at the Roanne Challenger event in France.

Norrie withdrew from several tournaments this year – including the US Open – because of an arm injury that also kept him out of the Olympics.

The top seed at the Roanne Challenger, Norrie beat French world number 747 Etienne Donnet 6-1 6-2 to progress to the last 16.

This is Norrie’s first event since mid-July at the Nordea Open in Bastad, where he lost to Rafael Nadal 6-4 6-4 in what was Nadal’s first event back from injury.
