Rinky Hijikata vs Cameron Norrie prediction

Cameron Norrie produced an outstanding performance to sink sixth seed Alex de Minaur.

The former champion rolled back the years with a 6-4 6-4 success over the Aussie to suggest he could go deep again at this tournament.

Norrie will now face Rinky Hijikata for a place in the last eight after the Aussie upset tenth seed Alexander Bublik 6-7 7-6 6-3.

The world number 117 will meet Norrie for the first time and will be buoyed by the fact his run from qualifying will see him back inside the top 100 no matter what happens next.

Rinky has impressed massively so far this week, but so has Cam and with that lefty topspin in these conditions we have to back the Brit if he maintains his current level.
