Cameron Norrie raced into his first semi-final of 2026 with a 6-1 6-0 thrashing of Bernard Tomic at the Los Cabos Open.

Britain's Norrie had been on a six-match losing streak before arriving in Mexico but has strung together three successive straight-set victories to set up a last-four clash with defending champion Denis Shapovalov.

Tomic, who reached the main draw as a lucky loser from qualifying, held serve in the opening game of the match but then lost the next 12 as Norrie completed the rout in just 50 minutes.

Norrie said: "I'm pleased with the result. I was very solid, I returned well, I made a lot of tough balls when I needed to, and I kept him moving. I enjoyed the match, and it's nice to go to bed a little bit earlier.

"It was a tough one at the French Open. I overtrained a little bit, but good learning. And then I lost a couple of tough matches at Wimbledon and Queen's, and it was a while for me to get my confidence back.

"To get a win here meant a lot. I took a lot of confidence from that and I was just able to play, not thinking about too much, just enjoying myself."

The fifth-seeded Norrie will face the only other remaining seed in the draw, Shapovalov, after the Canadian beat Dalibor Svrcina in straight sets.

"I watched his match," Norrie said of Shapovalov. "He's really confident at the moment.

"He's obviously the defending champion, so he likes the conditions a lot. And when he's confident, he's one of the toughest guys in the world to play.

"But I'm going to focus on myself, enjoy tonight, and get ready for tomorrow."

The other semi-final sees Hong Kong's Coleman Wong take on Frenchman Arthur Gea, who upset third seed Francisco Cerundolo.
