Where the match swung

The second-set tie-break decided everything. Norrie clawed at every point, dug in when it mattered and edged it 7-5. De Minaur never found his footing again.

The third set was barely a contest. 6-1. The Australian faded as Norrie ran down ball after ball, still sprinting when the outcome was long settled.

Into the last 16

Norrie is through, and playing like a man nobody in the draw wants to face. Montreal has a soft spot for an upset. This one belonged near the top of the list.
