British No 2 Cameron Norrie crashed out of the Canadian Open following a\u00a0three-set defeat to Aleksandar Vukic.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old overcame a one-set deficit and a medical timeout to force a decider against the Australian world No 99 in the second-round match in Toronto.<\/p>\n

But Norrie, who received a first-round bye, was unable to complete the comeback as his US Open preparations were dealt a blow by a 6-3 6-7 (2) 6-3 defeat in just over two hours.<\/p>\n

Despite saving four break points, the world No 39 dropped his opening service game, paving the way for Vukic to wrap up the first set in 33 minutes.<\/p>\n

That proved to be the only break of serve across the opening two sets, with Wimbledon quarter-finalist Norrie ultimately levelling courtesy of a tie-break after requiring on-court treatment while leading 6-5 in the second set.<\/p>\n

Norrie was then unable to capitalise on two break points in game five of the final set, a pivotal moment compounded by him immediately failing to hold.<\/p>\n

Vukic was one game from victory when a rain delay prolonged the match before returning to finish the job and set up a last-32 meeting with either American seventh seed Frances Tiafoe or Japanese qualifier Yosuke Watanuki.<\/p>\n

Highlights of Liudmila Samsonova against Naomi Osaka at the National Bank Open in Montreal<\/p>\n

Japan’s Naomi Osaka saved three match points to beat Liudmila Samsonova 4-6 7-6 (6) 6-3 in the second round of the Canadian Open on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Samsonova forced three match points at 5-4 up – and on serve – in the second set, but the four-time Grand Slam champion managed to save each one to take the match to a decider in Montreal.<\/p>\n

From there, Osaka continued to gain momentum and showed great determination as she registered two breaks in Samsanova’s first three service games in the decider.<\/p>\n

Osaka will face Latvia’s Je\u013cena Ostapenko in the third round.<\/p>\n
