On his way to the fourth round, Norrie beat Juan Pablo Varillas in straight sets before launching an outstanding comeback against Giulio Zeppieri.

After losing the first two sets, the 28-year-old went on to win 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 6-4 6-4.

He then beat world No11 Casper Ruud on Saturday in another impressive display.

But his hopes of reaching the quarter-finals were dashed by world No6 Zverev this morning.

Zverev took the opening set after a strong start before Norrie bounced back to win the second.

The third was briefly interrupted by a pro-Palestine protester, who threw leaflets onto the court.

The match was stopped for a few minutes as a result while the woman was escorted out.

Norrie then took the fourth set, but Zverev won the decider to progress to the quarter-finals.

He will now face either Miomir Kecmanovic or Carlos Alcaraz in the fourth quarter-final on Wednesday.
