This season, the Brit has won 41 out of 59 games, including the Delray Beach Open and the Lyon Open. At Wimbledon, he also advanced to his first Grand Slam semifinal before falling to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.
Following this, Norrie advanced to the Los Cabos Open championship game, where he was defeated by World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev. The World No. 11 advanced to the Canadian Open’s round of 16 when Felix Auger-Aliassime ousted him.
As the ninth seed, Norrie won his opening match against Holger Rune in the Western & Southern Open 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-4. Then, after falling behind a set, he defeated Andy Murray 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to get to the round of 16.

The Croat faced Alex Molcan in the quarterfinals of the Hamburg European Open, where he had previously advanced. However, an injury caused him to retire.
In the first round of the Western & Southern Open, Coric defeated Lorenzo Musetti 7-6(2), 6-3. The 25-year-old then accomplished what is likely the biggest upset in the competition by defeating Rafael Nadal, the second seed, 7-6(9), 4-6, 6-3.

Cameron Norrie vs Borna Coric Predictions
Although Norrie will go into the contest as the favourite, someone with Coric’s talent shouldn’t be discounted, especially in light of his previous performances. The Croat appears to be regaining his best form.
Norrie is a skilled counterpuncher who enjoys extending games and wearing down his rivals. The Brit also plays a strong net game, which might be useful.
Coric’s serve has significantly improved, and he has served exceptionally well this week, losing just one service against Auger-Aliassime. The Croat is a strong defender who can withstand lengthy rallies. Coric will be eager to take advantage of his strong backhand as much as possible.
After defeating players like Rafael Nadal and Felix Auger-Aliassime, Coric will be in good spirits, but Norrie will be too after defeating Carlos Alcaraz. Although the first will make things challenging, the World No. 11 should just about be able to prevail and make it to his first Masters 1000 final of the season.
Predictions: Norrie will triumph in three sets.
