Playing styles and prediction

The German has failed to make major strides in 2021 but still has a big game and unique attacking options to hurt any player as he looks to make his first deep run on the tour in San Diego this week.

Norrie will need to play consistently deep and powerful especially on the backhand side to put the German into uncomfortable situations in the court. What Norrie cannot afford to do is let Koepfer dictate the tempo of the match otherwise it will be another opening round exit for the Brit. However Norrie’s confidence should see him play with attacking intent and see him into the next round.

Prediction: Norrie in straight sets.
