Norrie concerned but hopeful over wrist injury
Written by I Dig Sports
British number one Cameron Norrie remains concerned about a wrist injury but thinks he is "going to be good" to play in the Australian Open.
Norrie, who is the only Briton seeded at the first Grand Slam of the season, pulled out of an ATP event in Auckland on Thursday because of the issue.
Speaking on Saturday, he said: "We're managing [the injury] with my team. It was better today, which is positive."
Norrie is due to play Peru's Juan Pablo Varillas in the first round on Tuesday.
Left-hander Norrie said he started feeling pain in his left wrist shortly after beating France's Luca van Assche in the third round of the Auckland Classic on Wednesday.
As a result, the world number 19 withdrew from the tournament - which takes place in the city where he grew up - before his quarter-final on Thursday.
