I looked up Little Rock (cuz I’m not a smart man) and saw 75 degrees and couldn’t figure out why they were moving inside for snow. But since they aren’t playing in Little Rock my little google search was pointless.Fayetteville (Arkansas). Norrie won the first set 6-4 and it's 2-3 (even on serve) in the 2nd against Khachanov.

Norrie beats Khachanov 6-4, 3-6, 6-3!! Big W for Cam at Barcelona!
Next up will be Belgium's David Goffin.
Can someone explain what happened at the end of the match on court 1? I wandered over after the baseball game and don’t really know much about tennis but something weird happened
No idea about Martin, but to me he's clearly preferable to either Paroulek or Kruger.
And it's on clay, right? Maybe Cam can find his inner UMBC and Nadal brings his inner UVA to that match.Norrie just "beat" Goffin. He won the first set 6-0, but was down a break at 4-5 in the 2nd set when Goffin retired. Lucky deal for him. Unlucky for him he's in the quarters but awaiting the winner of Nadal v Nishikori...... having to go #12 seed, #8 seed, #1 seed back to back to back is a tough draw.
Goffin just did not look comfortable out there; especially in the first set but it never got better for him. He kept asking for the trainer; took injury timeouts and they were working on his upper leg. And the commentators said that Norrie was overpowering him and that he wasn't familiar with Cam's game at all. Goffin beat Zverev last week at Monte Carlo in making the quarters and he's ranked #12, so even if was a walkover, it's a good W for Cam.Norrie just "beat" Goffin.

Nadal has won this title 11 times and Nishikori twice, so I'm not expecting Norrie to win this. But just making the quarters will earn him some ATP points - he's #58 now, maybe he'll move into the Top 50.
It'll be Norrie v. Nadal as Rafa takes Nishikori in 3 sets. Not liking Cam's chances at all, but playing Rafa on his home turf will be a good experience for him. I'm curious as to how Facu Lugones will game plan this one...

I'd gameplan to smash every forehand into his face and hope you can get him to retire with a broken nose.I would game plan to win more sets than Nadal.
