The manner in which he quietened the pro-Wawrinka crowd in an efficient victory stood him in good stead for facing Humbert.<\/p>\n
The Roland Garros crowds can be boisterous but Fearnley, whose background in the trash-talking US college game helps ensure he does not get fazed, sapped some of the energy from the home fans in a confident start.<\/p>\n
Fearnley did trail by a break in the second set as Humbert threatened a comeback, but ultimately progressed in the way which no players wishes to win.<\/p>\n
After going round the net to check on his stricken opponent, Fearnley held his hands up to the crowd in a way of showing his sympathy.<\/p>\n
Now he will switch his attention to Norrie, who also learned his craft playing for Texas Christian University.<\/p>\n
Having stunned Medvedev in a thriller on Tuesday, Norrie faced a different task against 114th-ranked Gomez in a match he was expected to win.<\/p>\n
“I had to get up for this match – I was the favourite to win it,” Norrie told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“I was able to bring a 6\/7 out of 10 performance, I was happy with that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
