What Time Will Cameron Norrie Play Against Zizou Bergs?
Norrie and Bergs are on the Day 5 Schedule at Moselle Open 2024 on Thursday 7 November 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Cameron Norrie, a 29-year-old British tennis player, is set to face off against Zizou Bergs from Belgium in their first-ever meeting. Norrie is currently ranked 57th in the world and has reached a career-high ranking of 8th in September 2022. This achievement made him the fourth British man in history to enter the top 10, joining the ranks of Henman, Murray, and Rusedski.
Norrie has had an impressive career, reaching 13 ATP Tour finals from May 2021 to February 2023. His notable victories include winning the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells title, becoming the first British champion in the tournament’s 46-year history. He also had a breakthrough performance at the 2022 Wimbledon, where he reached the fourth round, quarterfinals, and semifinals for the first time, ultimately losing to the eventual champion, Djokovic, in four sets.
In terms of wins, Norrie had 52 victories in 2021 and 49 victories in 2022. However, his biggest achievements came when he defeated the No. 2-ranked Nadal at the 2023 United Cup and the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz in the final of the 2023 Rio de Janeiro tournament, marking monumental victories in his career.
Norrie’s background is also unique. He was born in South Africa to a Scottish father and Welsh mother but grew up in New Zealand. He rose to prominence as the No. 1 collegiate player in the United States while attending Texas Christian University. Since 2013, he has been representing Great Britain in tennis.
Heading into the match, Norrie aims to secure his 25th tour-level semifinal, which would be his first indoors and on hard courts since the 2023 Auckland tournament. He also hopes to achieve 20 tour-level wins in a season for the fourth consecutive year and the fifth time in his career.
On the other side of the court, Zizou Bergs, a 25-year-old player from Belgium, is ranked 61st in the world, which is his career-high ranking. He previously reached the top 200 in July 2021 and the top 100 in June 2024. Bergs’s biggest win of his career came against the 24th-ranked Tabilo at Roland Garros, where he reached the third round as a qualifier.
Bergs has had notable performances in his career, such as his first ATP Tour win against Ramos-Vinolas at the 2020 Antwerp tournament when he was ranked 528th as a wildcard. He also reached his first ATP Tour quarterfinal at the 2023 Gstaad tournament as a qualifier. Additionally, Bergs earned a wildcard entry into the 2022 Wimbledon after winning the 2022 Ilkley Challenger title, where he defeated former world No. 8 Sock.
In his career, Bergs has also won several Challenger titles, including victories at tournaments in St. Petersburg-1, Lille, Almaty, Tallahassee, Drummondville, and Yokkaichi. He has qualified for Grand Slam events, including the 2023 Australian Open, 2024 Roland Garros, and 2024 Wimbledon. Notably, he entered the 2024 Australian Open draw as a lucky loser.
Bergs has faced disappointments in his ATP Tour quarterfinal appearances, losing to Kecmanovic in the 2023 Gstaad and Giron in the 2024 Antwerp. However, a win against Norrie would make him the second Belgian semi-finalist in the Metz tournament after Goffin. It could also propel him to a ranking of No. 57 on the PIF ATP Live Rankings.
