Cameron Norrie reaches the semi-finals of the Moselle Open with a win over Zizou Bergs

British men's number two Cameron Norrie continued his positive end to an injury-hit season by reaching the semi-finals of the Moselle Open.

The 29-year-old moved into the last four with a 6:3, 6:7 (6:8), 6:1 win over the Belgian Zizou Bergs.

The former world number eight is taking part in only his third ATP event since July as he is unable to take part in the US Open due to a forearm injury.

After failing to get two match points in the second set tiebreak, Norrie recovered and dominated the deciding set against the 61st-ranked Bergs.

“I should have had the tiebreaker in the second set, but he played faster than me and took a little more risk,” said Norrie, who fell to 57th in the rankings.

“I wasn't happy, but I managed to reset.

“He’s a good player and had a really good year, so it’s a really great win for me.”

Norrie will face France's Corentin Moutet in the semi-finals at around 2:30pm GMT on Friday.

Moutet, ranked 66th, advanced as Russian top seed Andrey Rublev withdrew after securing his place at the season-ending ATP Finals next week.
