Cameron Norrie vs Borna Coric Predictions: Norrie to win in three sets

The Western & Southern Open semifinal matchup between Borna Coric and ninth seed Cameron Norrie will take place on Saturday.

This season, the Brit has won 41 out of 59 games, including the Delray Beach Open and the Lyon Open. At Wimbledon, he also advanced to his first Grand Slam semifinal before falling to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.

Following this, Norrie advanced to the Los Cabos Open championship game, where he was defeated by World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev. The World No. 11 advanced to the Canadian Open's round of 16 when Felix Auger-Aliassime ousted him.

As the ninth seed, Norrie won his opening match against Holger Rune in the Western & Southern Open 7-6(5), 4-6, 6-4. Then, after falling behind a set, he defeated Andy Murray 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to get to the round of 16.

The 26-year-old defeated third-seeded Carlos Alcaraz, who had a 3-0 head-to-head advantage over him, in this match by crushing Ben Shelton 6-0, 6-2 to advance to the quarterfinals. Norrie put up a strong effort to defeat the 19-year-old for the first time and guarantee his place in the semifinals.

Borna Coric has won eight of the 16 matches he has played in so far this season, with Cincinnati being the site of his greatest effort.

The Croat faced Alex Molcan in the quarterfinals of the Hamburg European Open, where he had previously advanced. However, an injury caused him to retire.

In the first round of the Western & Southern Open, Coric defeated Lorenzo Musetti 7-6(2), 6-3. The 25-year-old then accomplished what is likely the biggest upset in the competition by defeating Rafael Nadal, the second seed, 7-6(9), 4-6, 6-3.

He defeated 15th seed Roberto Bautista-Agut 6-2, 6-3 to go to the quarterfinals. With a 6-4, 6-4 victory against seventh-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime, Coric pulled off another shock and advanced to his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal since 2018.

After defeating players like Rafael Nadal and Felix Auger-Aliassime, Coric will be in good spirits, but Norrie will be too after defeating Carlos Alcaraz. Although the first will make things challenging, the World No. 11 should just about be able to prevail and make it to his first Masters 1000 final of the season.
