Cameron Norrie produced a French Open upset to surprise everyone – including himself – by winning a five-set marathon against 11th seed Daniil Medvedev.

The British number three was uncharacteristically pessimistic about his chances ahead of the first-round match and with some justification, having never taken so much as a set off the Russian in their previous four meetings.
