Tennis: British No 1 Cameron Norrie records his first win of 2022

Cameron Norrie recorded his first win of 2022 by beating Ugo Humbert in Rotterdam.

The British No 1 had been beaten in the first round of the Australian Open after losing all three of his matches at the ATP Cup.

But the No 13, who lifted two ATP titles in a stellar 2021, returned to winning ways by easing past Frenchman Humbert 6-2, 6-4.

Norrie broke in the first game of the match and raced into a 4-0 lead on his way to taking the opening set.
