People will never take sides because of the draw, but the Briton is getting our country under his skin and will be looking for the title.
John Paul Varillas (101°) cannot continue to be a surprise of Argentina Open: Cameron Norrie (12th) beat him 7-6 (5) 6-4 in Peruvian and he entered Eventually of the tournament. And in this introduction I focused on the Peruvian defeat because what people want is their successThey made him feel like a local. However, the British trampled on Guillermo Vilas and he became the villain of a bad story: he was not the favorite of the public because of the draw matters, but he carries our country in his skin and will find the title.
Cameron Norrie never had the public on his side at the Argentina Open
the week of Cameron Norrie in Buenos Aires started on Wednesday against the local Facundo Diaz Acosta, who wants to get the best win of his career. Whenever he prepares to serve, the british received boos and whistles from the argentine public. Then, whenever I celebrated a point, the cries of disapproval did not last long. Norrie’s win meant a shower of applause in recognition of Díaz Acosta’s great performance, but Norrie just didn’t care. This is how he began to become the “villain” of the Argentina Open.
In the quarterfinals, he was again touched by an Argentine: Thomas Etcheverry. On a rainy day on Friday, Tomi started on a good level and took the first set 7-5. However, the weather suspension cut short his good run and, upon returning from the locker room, the world number 12, who Just like on Wednesday, he again suffered boos from the crowd every time he claimed a point or before a serve.he turned it around in the partials 6-3 and 6-0.
The day of the semis was no different, an occasion where no local tennis player came. Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillasthe only South American in the top four and the one with the worst ranking (101st), became a favorite of the people. He “Jumpy, Jumpy” was not long in coming, nor the disapproval of the British national game.
Cameron Norrie’s Argentina connection
Although everything seems to be against Norrie inside the center court -except the result-, everything changes when he retires at gate 1. After each victory, at least 40 people gather to take advantage of ask the tennis player for autographs and photos. Usually male and female the number 12 in the world stayed long enough to satisfy everyone with a selfie or a signature on a cap or even some improvised paper.
In addition to his good predisposition to the public who wants to get a souvenir, Norrie has strong connections to Argentina. On his body he wears the jaguar tattoobecause this is Cougars fanthe Argentine men’s rugby team, a sport he follows because he grew up in New Zealand, the land of the All Blacks.
This unknown part of Norrie is due to that fact his coach, Facundo Lugones, and his physiotherapist, Julián Romero, were born in our country and they gave him a very silver nickname: “chicken”. Speaking to Olé, he said: “I love Buenos Aires, I love Argentina”. No doubt, the villain of a bad story in this edition of the Argentina Open. Will you have support in the final?
