  1. 'Thoroughly professional - from Norrie'published at 17:50 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    Thoroughly professional performance from Norrie, which is what we have come to expect. Disgraceful from Paire for two sets and one where he seemed to care.

    Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 6-0 Paire

    Never in doubt.

    Cam Norrie runs to the net and swings a backhand into open court for a straight-set victory in one hour and 34 minutes.

    Benoit Paire grabs his bag and is off immediately.

    Norrie sends Paire on the run and the Frenchman can only hook his backhand into the net to give the seventh seed match point.

    Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 5-0 Paire*

    It's weird because Benoit Paire looks willing to lose, but then he puts in a great serve and volley.

    It's hard to know what he wants. The score is 30-30 anyway.

    Benoit's just packing his stuff up. He has put all his racquets in his bag and handed his sweaty shirt to someone in the crowd. That would not be a shirt I would want to receive.

    Does he realise he has another game to go?

    Benoit Paire knows he is done. He started packing his bag at the changeover, ready for a quick exit.

    Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 5-0 Paire*

    Benoit Paire packs his US Open towels in his bag at the change of ends, apparently accepting this match is already over and not wanting to miss out on the souvenirs.

    He puts in a double fault and a couple of casual groundstrokes on the next point which Norrie attacks to go 30-0 up.

  8. Norrie one game awaypublished at 17:44 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    OK everything is back to normal.

    Cam Norrie serves an ace and needs to win just one more game to reach the second round.

    It's almost as if he wants to be off in time for Dan Evans.

    Vesely v Evans

    Over on court 10, British number two Dan Evans is heading out into the Queens sunshine for his opener against Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic.

    This is only the second time the pair have met, with Vesely winning on that occasion back in 2017.

    Five years on, this is their first meeting at a Slam and Evans - who reached the fourth round last year - is seeded 20th.

    Cam Norrie gave Benoit Paire the slightest of chances as he missed a backhand to put the Frenchman 30-15 up.

    It looks as if the British number one will quickly quell the challenge, until he misses the same shot again and it's deuce.

  11. 'Lack of effort?'published at 17:41 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    *Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 4-0 Paire

    I am surprised that the umpire has not had a word with Paire for lack of effort.

  12. Norrie breaks againpublished at 17:40 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    *Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 4-0 Paire

    Two double faults from Paire give Cam Norrie two break points.

    Of course, he only needs one. Can he beat his record of 18 minutes for the first set?

  13. Swiatek, Sabalenka and Pegula move onpublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    World number one Iga Swiatek hasn't had much success in New York up until now but she's safely through to round two, having seen off Italy's Jasmine Paolini 6-3 6-0 on Louis Armstrong Stadium.

    Also moving on with little fuss is American eighth seed Jessica Pegula, a 6-2 6-2 victor over Viktorija Golubic.

    Sixth seed Aryna Sabalenka has just finished off Catherine Harrison 6-1 6-3 on court 10 so Britain's Dan Evans will be in action shorty against Czech Jiri Vesely.

    Elsewhere, Latvian 16th seed Jelena Ostapenko is into a final set, having split the first two 6-3 apiece with Qinwen Zheng.

    Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza leads Dane Clara Tauson 6-3 3-3 and Karolina Pliskova has just been taken to a final set by Magda Linette.

    Men's third seed Carlos Alcaraz is already on court - he's 3-3 in the first set against Sebastian Baez.

  14. 'Where is Paire's creativity?'published at 17:39 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 3-0 Paire*

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC Radio 5 Live

    This match will be over in 10 minutes - and that is not even an exaggeration as the first set was 17 minutes.

    Paire enjoys the creativity side of things, playing in front of a crowd - but where is that being shown today. He's not showing his best tennis to the crowd, He's just trying to get off court as quick as he can.

  15. Norrie leads 3-0 in thirdpublished at 17:37 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 3-0 Paire*

    After looking like he's given up on the match entirely in the previous match, Benoit Paire decides to play again and gets 30-0 up on Cam Norrie's serve.

    A couple of errors later it's 30-30 and a forehand into the net from Paire gives Norrie another hold.

    *Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 2-0 Paire

    Benoit Paire turns his back and walks away as he sees Cam Norrie lining up a passing shot. He didn't even want to attempt it.

    A double fault gives Norrie a break of serve.

  17. Norrie holds to lovepublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 30 August 2022

    Norrie 6-0 7-6 (7-1) 1-0 Paire*

    Is Benoit Paire going to continue to fight in this heat?

    It doesn't seem like it so far as Cam Norrie holds to love in the first game of the third set.

    Paire doesn't even go to his chair for the change of ends and goes round the other side of the net instead.

    Paire has worked so hard for the last hour to be more competitive. Goes into the tie-break, goes a couple of points down - and gives up.
