Cameron Norrie reached the Moselle Open semi-finals after surviving a third successive three-set match, beating lucky loser Kyrian Jacquet 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.
The world number 27 and the last remaining seed in Metz dropped the opening set after racing to a 4-1 lead, only for Jacquet to mount a late charge. The French world number 156 won five games in a row to take the opener and stayed competitive in the second.
