Despite several challenges in Friday's rain-hindered quarter-final in Buenos Aires, second seed Cameron Norrie prevailed to book his ticket into the Argentina Open semi-finals.
The World No. 12 had to rally from a set down against home hope Tomas Martin Etcheverry to claim a 5-7, 6-0, 6-3 victory. After the Argentine grabbed the opening set, rain halted play for a brief period before Norrie won 12 of the next 15 games to advance.

The 27-year-old, who saved five of seven break points faced, turned the match around by adjusting his court positioning, taking a more aggressive stance to dictate play from the baseline. Despite another rain delay occurring with Norrie serving at 3-1 in the deciding set, the British No. 1 held his nerve in the closing stages to advance to his second semi-final of the season [Auckland].
The lefty will next take on third seed Lorenzo Musetti or Peruvian qualifier Juan Pablo Varillas.
