Cameron Norrie is wasting no time transitioning from the hard courts of Miami to the European clay. Fresh off a confidence-boosting run to the Miami Open quarterfinals—which included a key victory over Alex de Minaur to reclaim the British No. 1 spot—Norrie is already deep in preparation for the prestigious Monte Carlo Masters.
His training regimen in Monaco has taken a high-profile turn, as he's been spotted sharing the court with some serious talent. First, he linked up for a practice session with former world No. 4 Kei Nishikori. The Japanese star, a Grand Slam finalist, is on a promising comeback trail and brings a wealth of experience, having trained with Norrie previously at Indian Wells.
But Norrie didn't stop there. He also posted an Instagram story showing him trading groundstrokes with world No. 10 Daniil Medvedev. The Russian has been in stellar form this season with titles in Brisbane and Dubai, making him the perfect hitting partner to sharpen Norrie's game against top-tier opposition.
This intensive preparation is crucial for Norrie, who seeks to improve his record at the Monte Carlo Country Club. While Medvedev has deep runs here, including a 2019 semifinal, Norrie is aiming to advance past the third round for the first time. With the clay-court season now in full swing, these elite practice sessions could provide the edge he needs to make a statement on the red dirt.
