FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU men's tennis player Cameron Norrie claimed his third ITF Pro Circuit title and second straight after claiming the singles crowns at the Tulsa Pro Championships and the Wichita Tennis Open in back-to-back weeks.
After claiming five straight wins in Tulsa to win the second professional title of his career, Norrie entered the main draw in Wichita and claimed his first three wins in straight sets. The junior then came back to defeat No. 252 Sekou Bangoura of the United States in three sets to set up a final with recent Illinois graduate and No. 596 Jared Hiltzik on Sunday. Norrie had no trouble and defeated Hiltzik, 6-3, 6-3, for his third professional title of his career, and 10th straight victory.
Currently ranked No. 640 in the world, the Auckland, New Zealand native defeated nine ATP ranked players on his way to the two titles including three ranked inside the top 350.
