US Open'I wasn't feeling good' — Norrie into third round after straight sets win, Evans also throughYESTERDAY AT 20:52 «Holger is not easy,» Norrie told Amazon Prime video afterwards.

«He can go through patches where he's playing pretty passively and then he goes through and hits very aggressively so you have to be ready for anything. »He has great hands and defends really well at times. For me I think I stayed a lot calmer than he did in the big moments in the match.

There was a couple of moments where I served for the first where I should have held and closed it out either at 5-3 or 5-4. I managed to stay tough during that first set and again when serving for the second set. «Really my goal today was to get to two hours and then we start the match from there.

Literally when I got to two hours and I broke to go 2-1 up in the third. »I looked and I pointed to [my coach] Facu [Facundo Lugones] and was like 'now the match starts'. He seemed to dial out a little bit.
