Meanwhile, Britain’s Cameron Norrie beat Argentina’s Thiago Agustin Tirante 7-5 7-6 (7-5) to set up a fourth-round tie against world number one Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n
Norrie, featuring in his fifth edition of the Madrid tournament, has never previously gone beyond the third round.<\/p>\n
Tuesday’s encounter will be the first time Sinner, who beat Denmark’s Elmer Moller 6-2 6-3, shares a court with Norrie.<\/p>\n
“I’m excited to play him [Sinner] but every time we practice he rips me up,” Norrie told Sky Sports. <\/p>\n
“He’s probably the most confident player in tennis right now but I just need to play my game. He’ll be tough to play against but I’m excited for it.”<\/p>\n
Italy’s Sinner is on a 19-match winning streak after lifting titles at Indian Wells, the Miami Open and the Monte Carlo Masters.<\/p>\n
In the women’s tournament, fifth seed Jessica Pegula lost 6-1 6-4 against Ukrainian world number 23 Marta Kostyuk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
