Cam Norrie insisted there was no room for sympathy in top-class sport after he ruthlessly destroyed Benoit Paire at the US Open. The Frenchman has openly spoken about his mental health struggles and has only won four matches in 22 events this year. After the British No 1’s 6-0 7-6 6-0 win, world No 173 Paire admitted: “The problem is my head.”
But Wimbledon semi-finalist Norrie said: “Did I feel sorry for him? Today in the match? Honestly, no. I was trying to play and trying to win every point and trying to get through. That’s my ultimate goal and was not thinking; ‘Oh, he’s having a tough day today’. No, I was trying to win every point I could, and trying to get off the court as quickly as I could.
