Why is Cameron Norrie so hard to beat?
The modern game revolves around topspin. Looking at the average spin rates of the 'Top 100' men's players in 2021, and we can see that the majority of players hit with high levels of topspin off both the forehand and backhand wing. But it's rare to find a player that hits with high levels of topspin on one side and a distinctly flatter shot on the other.
2021 Indian Wells winner and recent 2022 Delray Beach champion, Cameron Norrie, is somewhat of a tennis anomaly, posting similar RPM numbers on his forehand to the heavy-hitting Andrey Rublev, whilst his backhand is the flattest in the top 100 averaging under 1,200 RPM.
But could this be an advantage for the Brit?
