The weather caused Cameron Norrie as many problems as his opponent, Pablo Andújar, on Court Two on Monday. But after two delays for rain the only British seed in the men’s singles was also the first Briton into the second round, with a straight-sets victory that was only in any real doubt when the second extended into a tie-break.
Norrie has reached the third round at a grand slam tournament five times in his career, including Wimbledon last year and Roland Garros last month but has yet to progress to the last 16. As the ninth seed and world No 12, however, an overdue debut in the second week should be the least of his ambitions and he opened his match on Monday in dominant form, reeling off six games in a row in 25 minutes.
