Britain’s Cameron Norrie saw his run at the US Open ended by Russia’s Andrey Rublev in the fourth round.

Seventh seed Norrie, 27, was aiming to reach his second straight quarter-final at a major – and the second of his career – but lost 6-4 6-4 6-4.

The Wimbledon semi-finalist had not previously dropped a set this fortnight, but was far from his best.

Rublev, seeded ninth, will play either Spain’s Rafael Nadal or home hope Frances Tiafoe in the last eight.

Norrie had moved efficiently and quietly through the draw, demonstrating his position as one of the form players on the ATP Tour.
