Norrie has recently won his fourth ATP title at the Lyon Open and had been hoping to use the Eastbourne International to build up grass court practice ahead of the third Grand Slam of the year which begins on Monday 27 June 2022.

There are still two Brits left in the Eastbourne International, Ryan Peniston and Jack Draper, and as they are both playing each other, one of them will go through to the semi-final of the tournament.

Eastbourne is known for being a pre-cursor to Wimbledon and Norrie will join the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Matteo Berettini on Monday when he hits the courts for the first round.
