Cameron Norrie at French Open 2023: when is Briton’s third round match? Start-time and opponent ranking

Following a week of exciting qualifiers, the French Open tournament is now fully underway. Andy Murray had hoped to compete at Roland Garros but announced he would be missing much of the clay court season in order to prepare for the grass court tournaments, which include his home Grand Slam of Wimbledon.

However, Cameron Norrie is still representing the British flag at the French Open and has now matched his own personal best by reaching the third round of the French Open. He has beaten two home talents to reach round three, being victorious over Benoit Paire in a five-set thriller and over Lucas Pouille in three sets.

His win over Pouille, however, was also marred in drama as the 27-year-old Brit was able to win a point through a double bounce which the linesmen were unable to pick up on. Following his win, Norrie has come out in support of replay technology to prevent these errors from taking place again.

Norrie, who is seeded 14th at the French Open, will play Lorenzo Musetti who is seeded 17th. The Italian 21-year-old has beaten Mikael Ymer and Alexander Shevchenko in straight sets to reach the third round of the competition.

Musetti has previously reached the fourth round of the French Open, a feat he accomplished in 2021. The two tennis stars have met just once before, at this year’s Barcelona Open and Musetti beat the British star in three sets.

If Norrie were to be successful over Musetti, he will face either Carlos Alcaraz, the world number one, or the Canadian tennis player Denis Shapovalov who is seeded at number 26.

Alcaraz won his first round match in straight sets before beating Taro Daniel in the second round in four sets, dropping the second set 6-3.

Who else is playing French Open 2023?

Carlos Alcaraz is the number one seed in the Men’s French Open tournament. Following a dominant start to the season, Alcaraz has been heavily tipped to be only the fifth man since 2005 to claim the French Open title. After missing the Australian Open in January, the 20-year-old US Open champions went on to win four of his next six tournaments, including his home competition in Madrid.

Dan Evans was defeated in his first round match against Thanasi Kokkinakis while Jack Draper was forced to retire in the second set of his match against Tomas Etcheverry due to a shoulder injury.
