Djokovic’s six finals this year include four Grand Slam finals, but Norrie has tied his six nonetheless.

The Brit will aim to capture his first Masters 1000 title and 46th match win of the season.

Though only Fritz remains in contention in Indian Wells, Paul will surely feel good about what he accomplished in the desert.

“I knew what I was in for,” said the 26-year-old Brit, who beat Tommy Paul in three sets to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinal. “I stayed pretty composed in the big moments.”

The woman who beat her in that final, Garbine Muguruza, rises to No. 6, her highest ranking since July 2018.

He won his first trophy on hard courts in dominant fashion over Cameron Norrie.

The Norwegian had previously won tournaments in Geneva, Bastad, Gstaad and Kitzbuhel.

Ruud edged former No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov while Norrie took out current No. 5 Andrey Rublev.

Andy Murray’s bid to reach quarterfinals in consecutive weeks has ended with a mistake-filled 7-5, 6-4 loss to No. 2 seed Casper Ruud at the San Diego Open

His two-match slide to Norrie notwithstanding, the in-form Russian is offering an attackable price in this revenge match.
