CAM SKY-HIGH AFTER EPIC WIN

Norrie celebrates Daniil victory in style to cap a British revival

- Neil McLeman in Paris

CAM NORRIE hurled his racket high into the Parisian sky to celebrate his epic win against Daniil Medvedev as British tennis threw recent French Open form into the dustbin of history.

Last year, all six British singles players went out in the opening round of the clay court Grand Slam.

This time, there will be six Brits in round two and world No.81 Norrie staged the most stunning of those wins by shocking the Russian world No.11.

Jack Draper, Jacob Fearnley, Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu and Sonay Kartal also secured opening round victories - the most by British players here since 1973.

And it is the first time in the Open era that three British men and three British women have won their first main-draw matches here.
