In a disrupted French Open third-round match, Cameron Norrie defeated British rival Jacob Fearnley in a 6-3 7-6 (7-1) 6-2 win amid loud fireworks near PSG's stadium in Paris. Norrie, ranked 81st in the world, advanced to face Novak Djokovic in the last 16. Despite distractions, Norrie's experience and form helped him control the match against Fearnley, leading to a historic moment with two British men in the French Open last 16 for the first time since 1968.
