Cameron Norrie has crashed out of the French Open after losing to Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets.
The Brit was aiming to reach the fourth-round of the competition for the first time at Roland Garros, but produced a poor performance against the 17th-seed on Friday evening. He lost 6-1 6-2 6-4 to the Italian and made a huge 49 unforced errors - something former British player Naomi Broady described as 'bizarre'.
Norrie was the last British player remaining at the tournament after Dan Evans and Jack Draper both lost in the opening round. But after losing against Musetti, Norrie will now turn his attention to the grass-court season, with Wimbledon just around the corner in four weeks' time.
He will be eyeing a better run at Wimbledon, having reached the semi-final last July - his best grand slam performance to date since breaking through as one of the best players on the planet. Norrie eventually lost to Novak Djokovic in the last-four, someone who he has had tense battles with of recent late.
Norrie was the subject to criticism following his clash against the Serbian at the Italian Open. Djokovic accused Norrie of unsporting behaviour after the match which the Wimbledon champion won 6-3, 6-4.
It was a tense affair and one moment of confrontation occurred during the second set when Norrie seemingly hit the back of Djokovic's shoe by accident. The Serb didn't seem too impressed and hit back following the two-set win.

However, Djokovic also had other issues with Norrie, including Norrie's frequent and vocal fist‑pumping after successful points from early in the match and the medical timeout he took before Djokovic served for the match. At the time, Djokovic said: "Regardless if it's a tennis match or not, you turn up on time for whatever it is.
"He's allowed to take a medical timeout. He's allowed to hit a player. He's allowed to say: 'C'mon' in the face more or less every single point from basically the first game."
After his French Open first round win earlier this week, Norrie responded: "I didn't think I was in his face at all. I think if anyone knows me, I’m pretty vocal in some matches and in other matches. I love seeing players compete and really get up for the matches and really wanting to win. You see it in all sports. On the football field and on the tennis court.
"For me, I’m competing as hard as I can. I’m not trying to do it to distract the other guy or anything. I’m really just pumped to win every point I can and I’m playing point for point."
