Cameron Norrie
Great BritainCameron Norrie failed to defend his title in Los Cabos, losing to Daniil Medvedev in the final match (5:7, 0:6). The Briton had a great performance at that tournament, and will be looking to make a deep run in Montreal, too.He delivered good results at all hard-court tournaments this year, for example, he was the runner-up in Acapulco and won the Delray Beach Open. These achievements helped him reach the 11th line in the ATP rating.
