Cameron Norrie powers past Jozef Kovalik in first round of Swedish Open

Norrie, who lost to Alexander Zverev in the third round in SW19, made a swift transition to clay as he secured a convincing 7-6 (4) 6-4 win.

Norrie told atptour.com: "I was a bit nervous at the beginning, having not played a bunch on clay coming straight from Wimbledon.

"It was not easy but I thought I managed my serve really well and competed really well. I served unbelievably in the tie-break and that helped to get me through."

In round two, Norrie will face the winner of Rafael Nadal's clash with Leo Borg, the 21-year-old son of Swedish superstar Bjorn Borg.

Nadal returned to a tennis court for the first time since the end of May on Monday, when he teamed up with Casper Ruud to score a 6-1 6-4 doubles win over second seeds Guido Andreozzi and Miguel Reyes-Varela.

Britain's Jacob Fearnley, who grabbed a set off Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon last week, fell back to earth as he lost 6-4 6-3 to Li Tu in qualifying for the Hall of Fame Open in Newport, Rhode Island.
