Cameron Norrie reached the last-16 stage of the Madrid Open last month, losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner [Getty Images]British number one Cameron Norrie exited the Italian Open in the second round with a straight-set defeat by Argentina's Thiago Agustin Tirante.The 17th seed lost 6-3 7-5 to Tirante, who is ranked at a career-best 69th in the world.Norrie, the world number 19, was playing his opening match after a first-round bye. He was immediately at a disadvantage, losing his first service game as he swiftly trailed 3-0 in the first set, which the unseeded Tirante served out in 34 minutes.The second set was a tighter affair, with both players holding serve until Tirante broke for 6-5, and the 25-year-old then delivered a match-clinching service game to love.The exit of Norrie, 30, ends British involvement in the singles in Rome, after Katie Boulter lost to Germany's Eva Lys in the first round of the women's draw on Wednesday.Jack Draper, Emma Raducanu and Sonay Kartal are among the British players who are absent from the tournament this year with various injury and illness issues.Tirante, who is presently Argentina's seventh highest ranked men's player, will face either Italy's 10th seed Flavio Cobolli or France's Terence Atmane in the third round.'No substitutes in tennis' - why are so many British players injured?Sinner beats Norrie to equal historic winning runLive scores, results and order of playGet tennis news sent straight to your phone

Endrick opens up on Real Madrid future, Xabi Alonso talks and Lyon move: I had to rethink my careerEndrick has opened up in detail about one of the most difficult and transformative periods of his young career, discussing his future at Real Madrid, his loan spell in France, conversations with Xabi Alonso, and even his dream of facing Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup.The Brazilian striker, currently on loan at Olympique Lyonnais, made it clear that he still sees his long-term future at Real Madrid despite a complicated first spell in Spain.Starting off with his ambitions at the Bernabeu, Endrick said,As for Real, Ive got a contract until 2032 thats a long time. Im going to work hard to have a good season there when I return.The first step has already been taken with this latest call-up. Now comes the second: to keep going strong in the final stretch of the season so that, God willing, Ill be among the 26.Real Madrid tenure and talks with AlonsoThe forward also reflected emotionally on the serious injury he suffered during the final stages of last season against Sevilla, an injury that interrupted his progress at a critical moment.Professionally speaking, the worst thing for a player is a serious injury. A minor injury that keeps you out for two or three weeks is one thing; an injury that costs you the season is quite another.That one left me a bit shaken. But, on a personal level, I think it was one of the best things thats ever happened to me, because we were able to become a family, build a shield and grow stronger with God.If you have a good foundation off the pitch, things work out on it.After recovering, Endrick attempted to convince former manager Xabi Alonso that he was ready for a bigger role at Real Madrid before eventually deciding to leave on loan.Recalling those conversations, he explained, I told Xabi I was ready and he told me Id be useful. I kept training, training until I had to rethink my career.The Lyon moveEndrick has been a revelation at Lyon. (Photo by Jose Manuel Alvarez Rey/Getty Images)The decision to join Lyon was heavily influenced by his wife, who encouraged him to seek greater opportunities rather than remain on the bench.Explaining that key moment, Endrick revealed, Gabi said something that really struck a chord with me.She said that there are players who sit on the bench, but as long as theyre earning their money, everythings fine.And there are others who want more, who are striving for more. And she asked me what it was that I wanted.The striker then added, She kept putting that into my head and I started to reflect on the importance of standing on my own two feet and making things happen.Endrick also praised his agent for proposing the move to Lyon at the right time.When he spoke of Lyon, we felt something, a path laid out for us. And it was the best choice we made.On Paulo Fonsecas commentsThe Brazilian also addressed the recent public criticism from Lyon manager Paulo Fonseca, admitting the comments created confusion within the dressing room.Endrick will return to Real Madrid next season. (Photo by Jose Manuel Alvarez Rey/Getty Images)It was an unfortunate move, but after training, he called me to talk because it had caused a bad reaction.My teammates were saying: Why didnt he call you sooner? You help the team. Why say it publicly?He continued, Thats just the way it is in football; we have to prove ourselves on the pitch.Coaches sometimes have to say certain things; its part of the game. But I think responding publicly is worse.Endrick also explained how Fonseca has encouraged him to develop tactically by playing in wider positions.He knows Im a number 9. Thats where I really play, as a more mobile centre-forward.But he always tells me I can perform well as a right winger. And I told him: Thats fine, I just want to be playing and helping my team.Finally, the Brazilian admitted one of his biggest dreams would be facing Cristiano Ronaldo at what could become the Portuguese legends final World Cup.This will probably be Cristianos last World Cup. I hope we come up against each other. Hes my idol; hes always been an inspiration to me.If we get past Portugal and I get to see him on the pitch, itll be another dream come true.Source: AS
