    Budkov Kjaer 4-6 4-6 Norrie

    Here's what Cameron Norrie had to say after that win: "It was an amazing start for Jack [Draper], it's not easy to come back from injury and play a match where he is the big favourite.

    "He was really calm, played really well and enjoyed it. That gave me a lot of confidence to come out and play free.

    "It's a pleasure to be here in Norway, never been here before. It's nice to see they love their tennis here and got to see a young rising star like Nico [Budkov Kjaer].

    "He's really talented player, We practice a lot in Monaco and I wanted to make it a physical match and I was able to do that in the first set. It accumulated well and I was able to tap that small advantage in the second set. "

    On tomorrow's doubles match: "Those boys [Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool] are ready to get back on the court, they made their debut in the last match and they're ready to go. We're going ton enjoy tonight and get ready for that one."
