Gregoire Barrere vs Cameron Norrie – Match Predictions
Contents
As Gregoire Barrere and Cameron Norrie go toe-to-toe on Saturday, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Cameron Norrie to Win in Three Sets
Cameron Norrie is the overwhelming favourite here, and for good reason. He has been one of the top players on the ATP Tour for a couple of years now, while Gregoire Barrere mostly plays in Challenger events. Although we expect the British number 1 to win this match, we don’t think it’ll be as one-sided as the odds suggest.
For one, Norrie’s recent matches have mostly been three-setters. The Brit surrendered at least one set in five of his last seven singles matches, and he won four of those matches in straight sets. Keeping in mind that the previous encounter between these players ended in five sets, we are backing Cameron Norrie to win in maximum sets.
Over 20.5 Total Games
It’s entirely possible for this match to end in two sets, and still go comfortably above this line. Interestingly, the most recent encounter between these players was in a grand slam; that match featured three tie-breaks, and went comfortably over 55 games. In fact, these players have squared off against each other on two occasions, and both meetings featured at least one tie-break. Considering six of Norrie’s last eight matches featured 20 or more games, we’re taking the over 20.5 games option.
Gregoire Barrere vs Cameron Norrie Preview
How have these players fared in recent weeks? Let’s have a look.
Gregoire Barrere
Gregoire Barrere faced Roman Safiullin in the first round of this tournament. He converted four of 10 break points, defeating the Russian in three sets. Compared to his previous opponent however, Cameron Norrie will be a relatively bigger fish to fry. It’ll be interesting to see how Barrere will match-up against the British number 1.
Cameron Norrie
On the other hand, Cameron Norrie’s last match was a disappointing straight sets loss to Frances Tiafoe in the quarter-final round of the Indian Wells Open. Despite that loss, the 27 year old has enjoyed some fine form in recent months. It’s worth mentioning that Norrie won 13 of his last 15 singles matches. He’ll be eyeing yet another win as he takes on Gregoire Barrere.
