2023 Cinch Championships: British Players Cameron Norrie and Ryan Peniston Triumph, while Dan Evans Stumbles
Taking place at Queen’s Club from 17th-25th June, the Cinch Championships witnessed the prowess of British players Cameron Norrie and Ryan Peniston in the 2023 edition. Regrettably, their compatriot, Dan Evans, couldn’t secure a win.
Fans could follow the games live on BBC Two or stream on the Sport Newes Center website and app. Selected live text commentaries were also available.
Cameron Norrie made a successful comeback on the British grass courts, marking his first appearance since the Wimbledon semi-finals last year with a notable win at Queen’s. The top-ranked British player defeated Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic 6-4 7-6 (7-5) on the opening day.
Meanwhile, Ryan Peniston, last year’s quarter-finalist, surprised everyone by beating 37th-ranked French player, Ugo Humbert, with a scoreline of 6-4 6-2.
In contrast, Dan Evans couldn’t join the winning streak of home players, losing 6-4 7-5 to the American Sebastian Korda.
The day was a busy one for British players, ending with a defeat for the 167th-ranked Jan Choinski, a wildcard player like Peniston, who lost 6-4 6-2 to Italy’s sixth seed Lorenzo Musetti.
Andy Murray, the former world number one, is set to play his first match on Tuesday, following his victory at the ATP Challenger tournament in Nottingham. The five-time singles champion is looking at a challenging matchup with Australian seventh seed Alex de Minaur. Murray and Norrie will later join forces for the men’s doubles event.
After his defeat in the third round of the French Open, Norrie returned to his home grounds in hopes of replicating his exciting run at Wimbledon last year. His goal of gaining as much court time as possible before Wimbledon (starting on 3 July) seems to be off to a positive start.
Peniston, too, is yearning for more success at Queen’s. Last year, his run to the quarter-finals not only raised his ranking but also brought his heartening story of overcoming cancer during childhood to the limelight.
Despite facing some professional setbacks this year, Peniston came back strong with his stellar performance against Humbert, justifying his wildcard selection for the tournament.
On the other hand, Evans expressed his disappointment following a series of losses, admitting a lack of confidence and a sense of dread about the upcoming Wimbledon games.
