Norrie had not won since the Madrid Open in April, a run which included a first-round exit to qualifier Michael Zheng at Wimbledon. Playing at the tournament in Los Cobos where he won his first ATP title in 2021, Norrie recovered from having his serve broken twice in the first set, including in the opening game. The fifth seed dropped only five points on serve in the second set and broke American Kovacevic twice to set up a meeting with Australian James Duckworth or American Aidan Mayo in the last 16. British number two Katie Boulter was knocked out of the Citi Open in the first round, extending her losing run to four matches. American Ashlyn Krueger triumphed 3-6 6-2 6-2 in Washington DC as Boulter won only four points from 2-0 up in the deciding set.
