Hopefully it's ok to bump this thread up after 2 1/2 Years.

Bit of a topsy turvy match in Shanghai.

Took the first set 6-3, against France's Arthur Cazaux, got bagelled, 6-0, in the second, before taken the match on a third set tie break.

The British No. 2 said: “Learner, congrats, man. It was a battle today. You’re so tough and I’m so proud that you can win today. You’ve had an amazing first year on the tour.

“We started the year playing against each other, and we finished it. I have a lot of respect for you. I think you’re going to be an amazing player. I love your game.

“This is just the beginning for you, so keep going. Compared to all the other guys, you’re so, so tough. Keep pushing, and a big congrats on the title. I’m upset I didn’t get it, but you deserved it in the end.”

The star then sent an emotional tribute to his grandma, which reduced the star to tears on-court. “My grandma’s been really sick and I’ve not been able to be there this week.

“I just tried to enjoy my tennis for her and I hope she can keep pushing through. I tried to enjoy my tennis for you, nanna, and a big hello.”

Norrie climbs to a ranking of World No. 27, while Tien reaches a career high of World No. 28 after the final.

Both Tien and Norrie will end the year inside the top 30, meaning they are guaranteed entry into every ATP 500 tournament in 2026.
