Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans both comfortably moved into the third round of the US Open on Thursday afternoon, marking the first time in the Open era that four British men have reached the third round. They joined Andy Murray and Jack Draper, who advanced on Wednesday.
Early on Thursday, Evans continued his rich run of form during the North American hard court swing as he returned to the third round in New York by defeating Australia’s James Duckworth 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. He was directly followed by Norrie, still in the form of his life, who reached the third round with a 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (4) win over João Sousa.
