NORRIE: SO VAR SO GOOD

CAM NORRIE wants VAR introduced into tennis despite benefitting from a bad call in his latest win at the French Open. 

The British No.1 riled his opponent Lucas Pouille and the home crowd when he claimed a big point in the third set after the ball had bounced twice on his side.

The Wimbledon semifinalist then immediately broke the Frenchman’s serve on his way to a ruthless 6-1 6-3 6-3 win.

And Norrie was jeered and booed again during his courtside interview with Marion Bartoli before explaining in his press conference: “When it happened, I didn’t realise it had bounced twice.

“I just watched it now just before coming here, and I think it looks like it did bounce twice. I think it’s up to the umpire to call that. The other day I had one against me, and it looks like today I had one for me.”
