Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
In the upcoming match between Cameron Norrie (GBR) and Zhou Yi (CHN), it will be their first meeting on the tennis court. Norrie, aged 30, currently holds the 34th spot in the world rankings with a career-high of 8th achieved in September 2022. In 2025, he has a record of 26-20 with a semifinal appearance in Geneva and is making his debut in Chengdu. Notably, he broke into the Top 10 in April 2022, becoming the 4th Top-10 British man in history along with Henman, Murray, and Rusedski.
Norrie has an impressive track record, having reached 13 ATP Tour finals between May 2021 and February 2023. He claimed the 2021 ATP Masters 1000 Indian Wells title, marking the first time a British player won the tournament in 46 years. In Grand Slam events, he reached the 4th round, quarterfinals, and semifinals at Wimbledon in 2022 and 2025, respectively. Noteworthy victories include defeating Nadal and Alcaraz in 2023 for some of the biggest wins of his career. Born in South Africa and representing Great Britain since 2013, Norrie aims to become the 3rd British match winner in the history of the tournament.
On the other side, Zhou Yi, aged 20, currently holds the 304th spot in the world rankings with a career-high of 297 achieved in June 2025. He has a record of 1-0 in Davis Cup matches this year and has a 1-1 record in Chengdu from the previous year. Zhou began his tennis journey after initially aspiring to be a professional badminton player. Despite being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 14, he has continued to pursue his passion for tennis with determination.
With a background as a former World No. 3 junior and a successful juniors circuit record, Zhou is seeking to secure his first major tour-level win outside of Davis Cup matches. He previously defeated Tseng and Nishioka as a wildcard entry via retirements in Chengdu and Shanghai in 2024, showcasing his potential for upsets. Zhou looks to add a noteworthy win against Norrie, who has proven to be a formidable opponent especially in matches against players ranked outside the top 100.
